Dhak dhak from Nautanki Saala, Beta

Remixes and remakes are the order of the day.

Madhuri Dixit's famously seductive Dhak dhak song is all set ot make a comeback in a revamped version with Rohan Sippy's Nautanki Saala this Friday.

While the remix adds a quirky, fun element to the song, we wonder if it'll garner as much acclaim as the good old Beta number. And whether the women featuring in the new song -- Pooja Salvi, Evelyn Sharma and Gaelyn Mendonca -- do justice to Madhuri's sexy moves.

Think the younger trio are better or will Madhuri's Dhak Dhak rule forever?

Nainon mein sapna, new and old Himmatwala

The Jeetendra and Sridevi number was rehashed in an almost identical new form in Sajid Khan's remake of the film that tanked at the box office just a few weeks ago.

While the props, lyrics and the setting of the song pretty much remained the same, did you miss Sridevi's onscreen magic or did Tamannah raise the temperatures just as well?

Title song from Dum Maaro Dum and Hare Ram Hare Krishna

While Deepika Padukone sizzles in a raunchy revamp of Zeenat Aman and Dev Anand song, the original setting featured Aman partying with her hippie friends in Kathmandu just before she's reunited with her long-lost brother, played by Dev Anand.

Apart from the bizarre lyrics that received a lot of flak, the Dum Maaro Dum title song did win some brownie points for the catchy music and Dips' moves.

Na jaane from I Me Aur Main, Chaalbaaz)

Sridevi's fiesty turn in Chaalbaaz has her beign wooed by Sunny Deol as she prances in the rain with a non-commital yet super fun song.

Fast forward to 2013: Prachi Desai and Chitrangda Singh turn up the heat as they fuss over the hunky John Abraham in I Me Aur Main.
