"Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" (MSMT) has been relaunched as "Phir Mile Sur" (PMS). It definitely brings back the old days and makes you feel nostalgic but I have to say that it is mediocre. The photography and the presentation is good but it does not have the flavor of India which was in MSMT. As with any other thing, we get to see only our movie stars in PMS. We just do not want to venture into any other Indian achievements.
Lyric has been kept the same but the tune has been changed and I have to say that it is just about okay. I am not averse to change but the change has to be good. I could count only seven languages used in the newer version (with sixteen minutes of video) compared to thirteen languages used in the older version (with six minutes of video). I feel MSMT was broader in appeal and showcased the diversity much better. My verdict is thumbs down.

Sorry, I completely disagree...I think the newer version is superficial, badly done, and just plain annoying. This just confirms that with minor exceptions, sequels somehow comes out looking much worse than the original..
That was exactly my point. Even I disliked it. I said it is thumbs down from my side.
