Ahad Raza Mir breaks hearts with his Coke Studio debut but not how you think

Ahad covered 'Ko Ko Korina' with Momina Mustehsan in the final episode of Coke Studio and reactions have been brutal

Updated 20 Oct, 2018

Coke Studio released their final episode yesterday, which happened to mark the debut of beloved actor Ahad Raza Mir on the platform.

The Parwaaz Hai Junoon actor launched his singer self with a cover of '60s track 'Ko Ko Korina' along with Momina Mustehsan. A gutsy move, considering how iconic the track is, ever been to a mehndi where this wasn't sung? Neither have we. But Coke Studio was confident in their cover, claiming "This Ko Ko Korina remix by Coke Studio will also be one of the top Pakistani songs of 2018 and will become a famous Ahad Raza Mir song."

It didn't go so well.

Looks like Pakistan did not quite enjoy their rendition of the track and Twitter has proof. Lots of it.

They want answers

**Did Coke Studio not expect this?**

You could say they're upset

Speechless even

But really... upset

That's what we said!

It was a journey

Even Ahad Raza Mir couldn't save it?

Yeah the glass has shattered

What had happened was...

People are giving up

Even Nabeel Qureshi's on the Ko-Ko-Korina

And here come the theories

And some positive reinforcement

But hey, this is adorable isn't it?

Coke studio is no more about doing innovative things giving platform to obscure but talented singers. Now it seems anyone who is popular and has a good PR gets a chance to launch themselves via Coke Studio

Bring Noori as season 12 producer bringing Ali Noor on board. Definitely CS will be back on track.

Coke studio is turning out to be a fashion show ramp....where the looks are increasingly mattering more

What exactly happened is they are trying do experiment like Bollywood music industry and failed miserably. Older versions were far pure and soothing. For example "tum naraj ho" by Sajjad khan.

Any chance of Rohail Hyat coming back? Even Strings were much better than the current producers who we don’t want in the next season.

@Fahad Absolutely. Had Alinoor been on board, this season would not have turned out this poor. Couldn’t agree more.

What was Ahad Raza Mir thinking? This timeless melody was ruined solely by him. He was just acting like a singer. He needs serious training in singing. The notes were off and he simply couldn't sing the low notes. Why don't CS producers take auditions? Why do we have this actor-turned-singer culture in Pakistan. It was the same with Mehwish Hayat, her singing was much below average compared to the trained singers on CS.

@Ajay. Who is naraj?

I guess I’m the minority that liked it! I don’t get the hate. It was fresh and different. Whether under rohail, strings or Ali hamza....each have their own unique style. I’ve enjoyed all seasons of coke studio!

Worst debut of Ahad Raza Meer song was ruined by coke studio

Nepotism might have played a part here. Being the relative of a powerful person. But I want to know, are there any ways which can investigate such things.

Ali Zafar and Komal Rizvi were supposed to sing Ko Ko Korina.Make me the producer of Coke Studio,I can produce better fusion songs from them,i.e. a duet between Atif Aslam and Naseebo Lal.

Gamal Oct 21, 2018 04:26pm

This fiasco summarizes the dismal season 11 as it tried' experimental' music with no concrete vision of what it would entail. Makes me respect Rohail Hayat even more.

Huma Oct 22, 2018 10:14am

Since Rohail hayat left, coke studio going down hill and and not stopping at all. Please bring back Rohail Hayat, we miss him

Kashif Oct 24, 2018 07:39am

Someone call Rohail Hayat for rescue.
