The makers of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, dropped the film's official title track on Monday, 19 February. The song offers a fresh take on the original track from the 1998 film of the same name, which featured veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda.
However, the new track has received a mixed response from fans on social media. While some appreciated the composers for not 'exactly copying' the original track, others maintained that the Amitabh and Govinda version 'is irreplaceable'.
While the song only borrows the lines 'bade to bade miyan, chote miyan subhanallah' from the original track, it is completely different in terms of its melody and lyrics.
The new song has been sung by Anirudh Ravichander and Vishal Mishra and composed by Vishal Mishra with lyrics by Irshad Kamil.

"Happy that the makers did not copy the old Bade Miyan Chite Miyan song Finally we have the original one and instant chartbuster," commented another.
