Usha Uthup Reacts To Rambha Ho Rehash In Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: ‘I’m Very Happy’

‘Rambha Ho’, one of singer Usha Uthup’s most iconic songs from the 1981 film Armaan, was rehashed for Aditya Dhar’s period spy thriller Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh. The new version has been reimagined by Shashwat Sachdev and sung by Madhubanti Bagchi. Usha Uthup, however, has no qualms about the remake. In fact, she says that she is delighted to see the song come back with a bang and reaching a new audience.

In a conversation with Radio Nasha, Usha Uthup said that someone sent her the link to the rehashed version of Rambha Ho from Dhurandhar, and she loved it. “Somebody sent me the link. So I said, ‘Wow! What is this! It’s fabulous.’ I’m not one of those people who feels bad somebody else sang this.

I’m very happy,” she said. She further added, “For it to come back with such a bang is amazing. And of course, Madhubanti has sung it very well,” she added. Usha Uthup revealed that the makers didn’t approach her to take her blessing for the rehashed version.

In an interview with Republic TV, Usha Uthup praised Madhubanti and said that she has done a great job. “Madhubanti has done a fabulous job. We also did a reel together at Trincas (nightclub in Kolkata), which was amazing. I’ve always believed the song is much bigger than the singer. Whoever sings ‘Rambha Ho’ will hit it there,” she said.

She said that she has performed “Rambha Ho” at every show for years, and the Dhurandhar remake has brought the song renewed energy and popularity. “Truly, who ever thought? Every show of mine, in any case, I have to sing ‘Rambha Ho.’ But now, it’s with a new force, and all thank God for Dhurandhar for making it so popular. I don’t know how many million hits ‘Ramba Ho’ gets every second on what the Gen-Z call Insta. It’s amazing,” said the singer.

In another interview with India Today, Usha Uthup said that she doesn’t think about it as a remix at all. “I’m not saying remixes are bad. But I wouldn’t say all remixes are bad. Because some melodies would be lost if there was nobody to do another version. The younger generation probably wouldn’t have heard a song like ‘Babuji Zara Dheere Chalna’ if there wasn’t anybody else to sing it,” she said.
