Watch: Chaand Sifarish Song Gets A Kishore Kumar, Rafi Twist And It Is 'Magical'

Matching the stature of iconic Bollywood singers seems like an impossible feat. As we have grown, our perception of these legends has transformed from disdain to admiration. As children, we couldn’t quite fathom why our parents chose to listen to Jagjit Singh on the way to a fun trip. Now, with the passage of time, we have come to realise and appreciate the timeless appeal and emotional depth of those songs. We not only appreciate those voices and lyrics but also yearn to bring them back into our lives. But what was once deemed unattainable has become a reality, thanks to the wonders of technology.

Consider the classic Bollywood song Chaand Sifarish, originally sung by Shaan and Kailash Kher for the film Fanaa, featuring Aamir Khan and Kajol. In a spellbinding rendition, artists Anshuman Sharma and Aditya Kalway used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to breathe new life into this 2006 hit. They have taken it a step further by infusing the song with the soulful ambience of the ‘70s, all while channelling the enduring charm of Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi. Now, the melodies that once accompanied our parents on joyous journeys can grace our playlists, all thanks to the magic of AI.

In his post on X, the artist shared, “I Recreated ‘Chand Sifarish’ in the 70s style using AI, reimagined by Aditya Kalway in both Rafi Sahab and Kishore Da’s voices. Hope you like it! Og by Shaan, Jatin-Lalit and Salim Merchant.”

The post has garnered 1,39,600 views and 2,800 likes on the social media platform. The comments section resonated with awe, admiration and a nostalgic sentiment.

A user wrote, “I used to think that no one can sing this song better than Shaan, but then I watched this video.”

Another user said, “Keep up the good work with the help of AI. This is truly an amazing use of technology with the evergreen singer’s voice. RESPECT.”

Meanwhile, a third user said, “You keeping the magic of these two legends alive for this generation. Though technology is no match to them, it’s some attempt at least.”

The comments overwhelmingly expressed positive responses to the video.
