Trivia


 
  • This song was a re-creation of a popular song composed by R.D. Burman for the film "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" (1971). Asha Bhosle, who sang the original song, was displeased with this version. She was quoted as saying "If you call some structure Taj Mahal, it will not become Taj Mahal".[1][2]
  • Members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) were apprehensive when they found out that this film was re-creating a song from the 1971 film that used the Hare Krishna mantra propagated by their organisation. They believed that the 1971 film had tainted their reputation since the song depicted drug use. They were concerned that the re-creation may propagate the same misconceptions. Some leaders of ISKCON met with the film's producers and asked that the song sequence be screened for them before the film's release. After viewing the song, they asked the filmmakers to clarify that the film or the song did not represent ISKCON. The filmmakers agreed and added the following disclaimer - "Our re-recorded song "Mit Jaaye Gham" in this film has reference to the Hare Krishna mantra. The filmmakers wish to state that they do not intend to dishonor the prayer or inadvertently hurt any religious sentiments of people worldwide and the members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) who are its proponents".[3]
  • Deepika Padukone made a cameo appearance in the film with a dance performance in this song.
