A very common example is Mirza Ghalib and Mirza Daagh: In addition there have been common “zameen” in which many top poets have written their poetry and nobody alleges them of stealing. Many artists try their talent by singing the same number. Singing identical song/Ghazal is very common and is not called a copy. I think, today Gaulam Ali is going to perform in Varanasi on opening day of month long auspicious Hindu Temple musical festival, He will be honored, respected and treated like a Guru!Ĭompare this to what Pakistan has done to their own music and musicians! I have heard many sad stories about them. While fully agreeing with Pakistani concern about Bollywood ripoff of Pakistani songs, I would like to remind them about the great repsect Indians have towards Pakistani musicians.

But,crass commercial exploitation by copy paste method without "giving anything back to the people" should be opposed. When any individual or group of people copy or improvise suiting local taste "for their living" there is no harm. Who knows, this song may contain many beats or style from central Asia too. Such songs are a result of hundreds of years of musical evolution with many inputs originating sometimes from distant places. Great music, lyrics, play back singing so beautiful so enjoyable. "Dilan Teer Bijan" is my all time favorite. While the tune was changed beyond recognition, the lyrics are eerily similar to the ones from the 1974 Tasawwar Khanum original:

Two versions of the song Agar Tum Mil Jao were seen in the 2005 Emraan Hashmi starrer Zeher. Check out one of these versions here: actually heavily borrowed from the song Buhat Khoobsurat Hai Mera Sanam sung by Mehdi Hasan for the 1978 film Abshar.
#DIL DIL PAKISTAN SONG DAILYMOTION MOVIE#
One of the songs from the 1991 romantic movie that established Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan as one of the most iconic on-screen couples.

Buhat Pyar Karte Hain Tumko Sanam ( Saajan) The Pakistani original was sung by Shaukat Ali:ĩ. The words Kadi te Has Bol can be heard in the soundtrack of the song Aahun Aahun from the 2009 film Love Aaj Kal.īefore this an Indian pop-music version was also made in the late 90's. and turned out to be heavily inspired by folk singer Reshman's original: The Indian version appeared in Emraan Hashmi's 2008 film Jannat. Those who have watched the movie might also recognize the lyrics, if not the melody, of this song as well. The song, right down to the lyrics, were in reality lifted from this song from Pakistani film Saheli released in 1960. Rekha crooned along to Lata Mangeshkar in this soulful melody from 1989 film Souten ki Beti:

Hum Bhool Gaye Re Har Baat (Souten ki Beti) Compare the tune in the Mohra remake to Nusrat Fateh Ali's rendition here:Ħ. The Pakistani inspiration turned out to be the Sufi song Dam Mast Qalander Mast Mast, which had been set to music by several artists including Abida Parveen, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the Sabri brothers, Reshma and Madam Noor Jehan. The chemistry between Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon set the screen on fire in this song from 1994 blockbuster Mohra. This would remind Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan fans of his qawwali Mera Piya Ghar Aya which was first heard two years prior. This 1995 film may not have been very memorable, but Madhuri's dance steps in Mera Piya Ghar Aaya O Raam Ji remained in the hearts of her fans for quite some time. Check out this patriotic number from little-known 1991 film Yaadon ke Mausam.Ĭompare it with the Vital Sign's mega-hit Dil Dil Pakistan which came out in 1987. This song from the 1991 Amitabh-starrer Indrajeet may not be familiar to most, but we are sure that very few will be able to miss the unmistakeable beat in the background.Ĭreated in the 1980s, this is the music that is characteristic of every PPP election campaign and rally.Įven patriotic songs were not spared. This famous item number bears a strong resemblance to the qawwali Larka Badnam Hua Haseena Tere Liye from the 1992 Pakistani film Mr. Here’s a list of 10 times Indian music composers ripped off from Pakistan, sometimes not even bothering to change the lyrics. The complete list consists of hundred of songs over the span of at least five decades, but our countdown consists of only some of the most popular ones. The same can be said for their music with composers such as Pritam consistently under the radar for "highly-inspired" music.Ĭoincidentally, several Indian songs have also been “inspired” by Pakistani musicians. Bollywood gets quite a lot of flak for its blatant plagiarism of Hollywood, with some court cases thrown in from time to time as well.
