You know, it isn’t quite old if you recall all the damage that was done…in this year’s Coke Studio, right? It wasn’t just the one song, but various which made music fanatics of Pakistan pick up on Coke Studio heavily. However, one of the songs which got A LOT of negative traction was Ko Ko Korina.
Covered By Ahad Raza Mir and Momina Mustehsan, the Song Was Disliked By Many
Ahad Raza Mir’s debut in Coke Studio was how this season ended and tbh, no one was pleased. Remember Shireen Mazari and her reaction?
Horrendous! Destroyed a great classic – why oh why did Coke Studio allow such a massacre of this classic song? https://t.co/Iq5gfCPYcr

Let’s Jog Your Memory A Bit
Apologies for hurting ur sentiments. It is ur right to judge us & express ur outrage,just like it was our right to exercise our #FreedomOfExpression. As our Minister of #HumanRights, u should appreciate @cokestudio for allowing us to express ourselves, esp if it was horrendous 🙂 https://t.co/OkYdSE0jCz

Mazari Went All In!
I gave my personal opinion which I am entitled to esp on a non pol issue having to do with music. To each his/her own! And why bring the ministry into it?! https://t.co/io9q0y6nAf

Sherry Rehman Joined the Club Too
Same here. In fact I like the Leo Twins version of Koko Korina much better than the flat version put out by Coke Studio. No harm in stating music likes and dislikes. And no need to make such choices the subject of convoluted debate. https://t.co/sff8ZdBbWR

Cut short, everyone hated this version of Ko Ko Korina. On the other hand, Leo Twins, a fantastic duo released their instrumental cover of Ko Ko Korina and that went viral for all the right reasons.

Now here’s what happened; Momina Mustehsan attempted Ko Ko Korina once again and this time, she did it with Leo Twins!
With Leo Twins on Instruments and Momina On Vocals, the Unplugged Version Was Shared Last Night
Just three musicians enjoying a good jamming session, as it seems. And Momina was daring enough to share the video of it online, after all the hatred she had received earlier because of the same song.
This Time, the Song Got Mixed Reviews
Here’s the Attempt on Ko Ko Korina By Momina Mustehsan Feat. Leo Twins!
And LOL at the caption!!!
Aik maheena of trolling ki khushi mai, iak aur tohfa ? ??? with love, M. ♥️ #KoKoKorina #LeoTwins
And Here’s What Pakistanis Had to Say
Everyone was focused on Momina (obviously) to an extent no one talked about the amazing music played by Leo Twins. The comments shared on the video were all about Momina, her singing and her daring attempt, which people either liked or disliked…once again. Either way, it was good of Momina to show how she took all of the trolling in a lighter way, despite how ugly it was.
So what do you think, was this version of Ko Ko Korina better than the one that aired on Coke Studio? Also, this one ditched Ahad Raza Mir as well…so what do you guys think?
