Brief about the original song

Saat Samundar Paar is a famous song from the 1992 movie Vishwatma, starring Divya Bharti, Sunny Deol, Chunky Pandey, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonam and Jyotsna Singh.

Amrish Puri, Gulshan Grover, Kiran Kumar, and late Mahesh Anand played the villains.

The song Saat Samundar Paar, featuring Divya Bharti, topped musical charts and remains popular even today.

Divya made her debut with the Bobbili Raja, a Telugu film, where she starred opposite southern actor Venkatesh. But in Bollywood, Vishwatma is her first film.

Is remaking a song Good or Bad?
