Back in 1999, Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen gave us a dance number of the decade. Both Khan and Sen danced their hearts out in Biwi No. 1 's most popular song, "Chunnari Chunnari." Now 27 years later, we have an updated version in another David Dhawan movie, this time headlined by Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur.
The new version of "Chunnari Chunnari" from Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is out and while it takes you on a nostalgic trip, does it do justice to the OG song? Let's find out what netizens think!
Chunnari Chunnari song out
The revamped version of " Chunnari Chunnari " has released and while it is nowhere near the original, it is not that bad, as per netizens. Most of the netizens on the internet agreed with one thing: You can't ever recreate Salman-Sushmita's magic from the 1991 song. However, many also consider the song the perfect nostalgia with a new vibe.
One netizen wrote, "OG Salman Khan or Sushmita Sen ko Koi Beat Nahi Kar Sakta ❤," while another commented, "I wish to see SALMAN & SUSMITA's presence in theatre....they are OGs.....u can't beat them..."
Another netizen wrote, "@saurabhttt 1 hour ago 90s nostalgia with a fresh vibe ❤️✨."
Another Sallu fan wrote, "In this song Varun Mrunal Pooja Is Ok But in Old song OG Salman Sushmitha All Time Best ❤."

At a recent event, Salman was heard jokingly telling the crowd about Varun recreating his songs, "Isne mera ek aur gaana uthaya," referring to the recreation of one of his iconic songs. The playful remark left Varun blushing. "Bahi rehne do (please stop it, brother)," Varun was seen telling Salman.
Even decades after its release, "Chunari Chunari" from Biwi No. 1 starring Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen continues to be a fan favourite and remains one of Salman Khan's most iconic Bollywood songs.
Varun spoke about the recreated song and explained the challenges, "The challenge was about committing to the song and the situation in the film. In our movie, the context in which the song appears is completely different because it's a comedy film. There's a fun 'double trouble' situation happening, whether the character is with one girl or both girls, that confusion itself creates the humour."
