Good you posted these and apt timing too, I dare say! I liked the versions, the old and the new. Each is good in its own way. I especially liked the use of instruments in the new one. Amitabh is one lucky old man to be in both the videos - to still be so much in demand. I'd have liked to see the kids of the stars who were casted in the old video to have been casted in the new one. Like Sharmila Tagore was in the old one, the new one could have roped Saif in (and I'm not just saying it for his hot-bod!!), Esha could have been casted in the new one where Hemamalini was in the old one, etc. Unlike the old one, the new one has given Goa no airtime. That was a disappointment. The old one included both Tulu and Kannada in a unique combination; I'd have liked to see that in the new one too. Besides, we have transformed a million colours since 1988 - bringing with it new achievements and new issues. The new video could have done some justice to that. Especially on the achievements front. The new video has tried to ape the old one in a few ways and has tried to reinvent itself in others. All in all, I think it’s a good effort. Music binds people and our country can never have too many songs to sing together.
