Padmini Kolhapure revisits her 1982 Prem Rog track, Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara, and lends a contemporary twist to the revered number

Reviving a loved song!

Padmini Kolhapure

The trend of rehashing old ditties has exposed a peculiar truth of Bollywood — while stars like Ajay Devgn (Neend churayi) and Akshay Kumar (Tip tip barsa pani) made their decades-long reign over Bollywood evident by recently appearing in rehashed versions of their own s’90s songs, for veteran actor Padmini Kolhapure, life appears to have come a full circle. While she was seen as a wedded daughter in the song, Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara, in a recently released rehashed version, she plays a mother prepping her daughter for her big day. 


“We tweaked the lyrics a bit,” says Kolhapure, who has sung and featured in the new version. “We changed the line ‘Yahan aana na dobara’, to ‘Yahan aana tum dobara’. We wanted to establish that we welcome our daughter back home, even after her marriage. So many memories came rushing back while we made this version. I am glad that Lata ji [Mangeshkar] gave us her blessing to go ahead. Given that she sung the original, there was a sense of pressure, but, thankfully, it turned out well.”


The track was shot over a  22-hour schedule that commenced at 4 am. It is one among the early productions of Kolhapure’s son Priyaank Sharma’s Dhamaka Records. “Priyaank has been musically inclined and has a lot of knowledge of production. The fact that he comes from a musical background has worked [in his favour],” she signs off.
