Mile Sur Mera Tumhara - Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

Twenty years after the tune's debut, it was re-recorded with an updated cast for telecast on January 26, 2010 by Zoom TV. This version, entitled Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, features Indian musicians, singers, sportspersons and film personalities from the current generation. The current version's 16 min 17 sec length exceeds the older 6 min 9 sec version and was directed by Kailash Surendranath who had produced the original version as well. The new version retains music composer/arranger Louis Banks. It attracted criticism in a large part of the population among them were the Sindhi community which were upset over the deletion of the Sindhi lines "Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara mile jadein Geet ashaanjo madhur tarano bane tadein" present in the original. Further criticism arose over the omission of notable personalities such as, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Sachin Tendulkar and Vishwanathan Anand.
