New Delhi: Nora Fatehi’s latest song ‘Zaalima Coca Cola’ from her upcoming film ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’ has taken the internet by storm and has received more than 10 million views within one day of its release. The song however is a remake of the song sung by legendary Pakistani singer Noor Jehan in 1986 for the Punjabi film ‘Chan TeSoorma’.
