EXCLUSIVE: Mohit Chauhan ADMITS Bollywood’s Remix Culture Is Only For Business; Advices Artists, “Aap Naya Gaana Bhi Sochiye”

The rising trend of remixes in Bollywood has sparked a widespread debate about creativity versus commerce, and singer Mohit Chauhan offers a firm, unfiltered stance on the issue. While promoting his new song, Heer, the singer sat for an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble. Mohit believes today’s remix culture is driven purely by business motives rather than artistic intent. He argues that altering beats, adding new instruments, or tweaking lyrics cannot recreate the emotional depth of an original composition.

Mohit Chauhan ADMITS Bollywood’s Remix Culture Is Only For Business

When asked how he feels about today’s remix culture, singer Mohit Chauhan said, “Mujhe lagta hai ki woh khaali business ke liye kiya jaata hai. Nahi toh ek gaane ko remake karne ka reason kya hai? Kuch bhi nahi hai. Ab main ek gaane ko baar-baar… usme drum beat nikal doon, phir usme shehnai daal doon — gaana toh wahi hai. Uska original form hi best rehta hai.”

He added, “Uske baad agar aap socho ki main lyrics change kar doon, toh jo sunne wale hain unke liye toh woh change ho gaya na — phir woh usse relate nahi kar paayenge. Log use film mein ya kisi collection mein daalna chahte hain, woh ek alag business model hai. Lekin gaana original hai, ek baar release ho gaya hai — usko remake karne ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Aap naya gaana bhi sochiye.”

About Bollywood Remix Culture

Music companies often see remixes as a quick path to creativity and profit, leveraging nostalgia and viral hooks for social media. Targeting platforms like Instagram Reels, producers focus on catchy 10-15 second snippets, sometimes sacrificing quality or storytelling. Many modern remixes are technically re-recordings, with vocalists syncing to click tracks to mimic original vocals. DJs and labels, especially big players like T-Series, promote these trends, often without crediting original artists, prompting criticism. While some remixes succeed commercially, legendary artists like AR Rahman criticise them for diluting the originals. Recently, there’s been a shift towards authentic, original music, emphasising the preservation of a song’s true essence.
