Coke Studio Bangla has launched a new video song featuring eminent poet Kazi Nazrul Islam’s “Karar Oi Louho Kabat", in its original tune sung by young students from numerous educational institutions of the country, to commemorate the 53rd Victory Day.
Debates surrounding the original tunes of the rebel poet’s verses have existed for a long time.
A legal notice was served on the government in order to remove or halt the streaming of AR Rahman’s version of the song “Karar Oi Louho Kabat” from all social media, OTT, and streaming platforms in Bangladesh immediately.
National Poet of Bangladesh, Kazi Nazrul Islam's granddaughter Khilkhil Kazi and grandson Kazi Arindam recently held a press conference to protest against the distorted re-composition of the song “Karar Oi Louho Kopat" by AR Rahman, for the film “Pippa”.
The makers of "Pippa" could have chosen singers with prior experience of rendering Nazrul Islam’s songs.
Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman faced severe criticism for the remake of National Poet of Bangladesh Kazi Nazrul Islam’s song “Karar Oi Louho Kopat”. The general audience from both sides of the border has also been taunting Rahman about the song.
Eminent Indian poet Joy Goswami, shared, “Distorting songs of Kazi Nazrul Islam in this manner is a form of misrepresentation and should not be acceptable. I express my agreement with your protest against such actions.”
Famed music composer-singer AR Rahman’s version of Bengali poet and songwriter Kazi Nazrul Islam’s classic song, “Karar Oi Louho Kopat,” has sparked diverse reactions amongst listeners and admirers of Nazrul Sangeet, making them say “can't play with our emotions."
In the film “Pippa”, Ishaan, portraying the role of Captain Balram Mehta, heads to the battlefield following the declaration of war against Pakistan by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1971.
