Jacqueline Fernandez recreated Madhuri Dixit‘s iconic song Ek Do Teen for Baaghi 2 but this remake was met with a lot of criticism online. It was a difficult task anyway as Ek Do Teen is regarded as one of the best choreographed and performed number in Bollywood and people didn’t react too well with a ‘remix’ which in their opinion was not on par with the original.
Here are some reactions on Twitter –
We should praise the hideous new #EkDoTeen remix ‘dance’ video, since it is grotesque (and blasphemous) enough to kill the Bollywood remix trend altogether.

The reason why original #EkDoTeen is such an iconic song is because the woman is seen being more than an object of desire. Madhuri dances beautifully in a quirky and fun way not trying to please anyone. The newer version does the exact opposite ??♀️

But, in all of this, Jacqueline has found an admirer in the form of Salman Khan. The superstar took to Twitter to defend his Race 3 co-star, saying that it is difficult to match Madhuri Dixit –
Loved d song, Jackie has done full justice 2 d legendary moves of Saroj khan difficult to match Madhuri. Nice 2 see Varun n Jackie to our songs makes us proud n keeps d songs alive n fans listening, dancing n having a blast. Makes me proud . Enjoy Karo !https://t.co/qQ6nfnSAD1

On the other hand, the director of Tezab, N Chandra was pretty angry with Ek Do Teen 2.0, here’s what he had to say-
I can’t believe they’ve done this to ‘Ek Do Teen’. It’s crass beyond imagination. And Jacqueline Fernandez doing Madhuri Dixit’s number? Give me a break! It’s like turning the Central Park into a botanical garden. Madhuri danced with such grace and innocence.
Which version do you like more?
