THis was yet aNother reMake

The second song on the soundtrack of Jabariya Jodi (Zilla Hilela) was yet another remake.

The original – Arrah Hile Chhapra Hile Ballia Hilela – was a folk song from Dangal, a Bhojpuri film that released in 1977.

Tanishk Bagchi composed the recreated version.

And he wrote it with Shabbir Ahmed.

The song was three minutes and 58 seconds long.

The younger Merchant rendered it

The song was written by Shabbir Ahmed.

The remixed version of the song was three minutes and 42 seconds long.
