Dhadak’s Zingaat vs. Sairat’s original version: Decoding 3 similarities and differences of the Ishaan Khatter - Janhvi Kapoor song

Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Zingaat’ from Dhadak dropped recently and it is a reprised version of the very popular CHARTBUSTER from Nagraj Manjule’s super hit Sairat. It already has a lot of expectations because the original went on to become a cult party number unifying the vernacular Marathi population with Pan India. Karan Johar therefore was going for an assured hit when he brought original music composers Ajay Atul of Sairat fame on board Dhadak. Finally, Dhadak’s ‘Zingaat’ has released and here is what we thought about it. While the music and the context of the song is same to its original version, here are key differences between the two versions.

 

Dhadak’s Zingaat vs. Sairat’s original version: Decoding 3 similarities and differences of the Ishaan Khatter - Janhvi Kapoor song

 

Similarities

 

1 - The premise of the song

 

So, ‘Zingaat’ comes at a key juncture in the movie and there is a massive twist awaiting masses post the song. In Dhadak too, the makers have maintained this. It is a party number post the whole tone of the narration changes. In Sairat, it is the lead actress’s brother’s birthday party where the song is played. Director Shashank Khaitan has maintained the same in Dhadak.

 

2 - Use of imagery

 

The song showcases the wealth and clout that the heroine’s family enjoys and Shashank Khaitan uses Nagraj Manjule’s technique if showing the actress’s brother cutting his birthday cake with a sword instead of a knife.

 

3 - The overall setting

 

The overall setting of the song is same as the original. The lead stars looking at each other coyly and dancing, the Janhvi Kapoor flirting from across the balcony, etc. premise is the same.

 

Differences

 

1 - Crackling chemistry between Ishaan and Janhvi

 

Sairat’s original couple Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru’s chemistry was not as natural and electric as Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s. They share natural camaraderie even off screen which is reflected on camera too.

 

2 - The lead actor’s profession and family background

 

Ishaan Khatter is shown sneaking out to attend a party at Janhvi Kapoor’s home from a make-shift, small time restaurant.  It is clear that his father owns the eatery. In Sairat, Akash Thosar’s family are fisher folk.

 

3 - Different signature step

 

Farah Khan has given her own twist to the dance and has given us a crazy new step which is equally addictive!
