## 2004 version

The song with alterations in music and lyrics was released in 2004 in the album Dilse Maratha Hai by singer and composer Avdhoot Gupte. The album was released by former president of Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray at the Thackeray residence "Matoshri", Bandra, in Mumbai. The video featured actors Urmila Matondkar and Vivek Oberoi. Gupte's song however is a mix of Hindi and Marathi. The music is inspired from Bryan Adam's chartbuster song Summer of '69. The new version faced some criticism for the use of swear words considered inappropriate in the song. In defense Gupte said that they were added "to make it peppy".
