Note: Sounds terrible when sung.

Music Director: R.D. Burman
Copied From: If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium (Walter Scharf)
Note: R.D. Burman did a nice job of altering the song,
but the sense of "influence" is definitely there.

Note: I find this to be one of the most inane instances of copying yet!



Hindi Song: Paagalpan Chha Gaya (Jaanam)

copied songs, making them often hard to decipher.



Hindi Song: Teri Chaahat Ke Siva (Jaanam)

Copied From: El Condor Pasa (Simon & Garfunkel)
Note: I also noticed that the starting of El Condor Pasa also sounds a lot
like "Taarein Hain Baaraati" from Malik's later album, Virasat.



Hindi Song: Maari Gayi Pyaar Mein (Jaanam)
Music Director: Anu Malik
Copied From: I Am Sixteen and My Favorite Things (The Sound Of Music);
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (The Righteous Brothers)

by Nadeem-Shravan.

Note: The opening and closing portions of the Hindi song are inspired.



Hindi Song: Dil Mera Churaaya Kyoon (Akele Hum Akele Tum)
Music Director: Anu Malik
Copied From: Last Christmas (Wham)
Note: The funniest thing is that in the movie, Aamir Khan's character
sells this tune to another musician, and everyone makes a big
deal about "stealing" credit for another's work.



Hindi Song: Tu Waaqif Nahin (Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi)
Music Director: Anu Malik
Copied From: Fernando (ABBA)
Note: Only the main refrain is inspired; no harm done.

Note: I don't think he even tried to hide this one.



Hindi Song: Chaand Sitaare (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai)
Music Director: Rajesh Roshan
Copied From: Voices (Vangelis)
Note: Brace yourself; you're about to see Rajesh Roshan's ugly
history of blatantly stealing from Vangelis for his themes.



Hindi Song: Badan Judaa Hote (Koyla)
Music Director: Rajesh Roshan
Copied From: Conquest Of Paradise (Vangelis)
Note: Again, the recurring humming theme in Koyla is a copy.



Hindi Song: Humko Pyaar Hai (Moksha)
Music Director: Rajesh Roshan
Copied From: Messages (Vangelis)

Copied From: The Breeze And I (Al Stillman and Ernesto Lecuona)



Hindi Song: Jeevan Ke Safar Mein (Munimji)

Note: Et tu, Sandeep?



Hindi Song: Roundhe Hai (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya)
Music Director: W. Killar & Sandeep Chowta
Copied From: Vampire Hunters (Bram Stoker's Dracula)
Note: Why did he need help from someone else just to copy a tune?



Hindi Song: Kambakth Ishq (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya)
Music Director: Sandeep Chowta
Copied From: Eireann (Afro Celt Sound System)
Note: Interesting story here; Chowta was accused of using an
unoriginal beat, which he defended by saying that he took his
beat from a public website. But what about the TUNE
that he lifted from this song?



Hindi Song: Yeh Pyaar Hai (Indian)
Music Director: Anand Raaj Anand

Music Director: Viju Shah
Copied From: Deep Forest (Deep Forest)

Copied From: Angelo (Brotherhood Of Man)
Note: Another case of "good" copying.



Hindi Song: Neend Churaayi Meri (Ishq)
Music Director: Anu Malik

Note: I think freestyle music sounds nice when sung in Hindi;
it should be done more often.



Hindi Song: Kuch Kasmein (Aankhen)
Music Director: Jatin-Lalit
Copied From: Nights In White Satin (Moody Blues)
Note: So Jatin-Lalit's self-proclaimed "new style" is
to copy different tunes?



Hindi Song: Tinak Tin Taana (Mann)
Music Director: Sanjeev-Darshan
Copied From: Yang Sedang-Sedang Saja (Iwan - Malaysian)
Note: Not a shred of originality on Sanjeev-Darshan's part.



Hindi Song: I Was Made For Loving You (Jaanam Samjha Karo)

Copied From: Lonely Lonely Monday Morning (Snow)
Note: Ooooookay...



Hindi Song: Na Bole Tum Na Maine (Baaton Baaton Mein)
Music Director: Rajesh Roshan
Copied From: When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore)
Note: I'm glad to see that Rajesh Roshan finds the American Civil
War to be so romantic.



Hindi Song: Marne Ke Darr Se (Jurm)
Music Director: Rajesh Roshan
Copied From: La Isla Bonita (Madonna)
Note: Only the first line of the Madonna song is copied, but it's
pretty obvious.

Thanks to eragon for the link.

This is shocking to say the least. Many of my favoraite songs are in that list. Bollywood songs have completely lost my respect now

P.S : You can compare the different versions on Youtube , almost all the songs are available there.

There was another song from Mann which was copy of an old Italian song. I had heard the original on radio after Mann.

I don't know the name of the original composer, singer.

Here is how this post should have been
