12 Popular Hindi Songs Copied From The West | Indian Copycats Bollywood Music


Copied From: 'Lovely Lady Of Arcadia' by Demis Roussos

The 90s music director-duo Nadeem-Shravan took 'inspiration' from the Greek singer Demis Roussos for this Aamir Khan-Juhi Chawla starrer.

2. Song: 'Babuji Dheere Chalna' from 'Aar Paar'


Copied From: 'Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps' by Doris Day

'Babuji Dheere Chalna' is one of the most memorable tunes from the golden 50s era, but O.P. Nayyar could not have done it without the 40s American singer Doris Day and her popular song 'Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps'.

3. Song: 'Kambakht Ishq' from 'Pyar Tune Kya Kiya'

Copied From: 'Eireann' by 'Afro Celt Sound System'

In the early 2000s, the success of the music of PTKK was possible through the Ctrl C + Ctrl V genius of Sandeep Chowta – and some major influence from the West. For instance, this number copied from this fusion musical group.

4. Song: Title Song from 'Pyar Tune Kya Kiya'

Copied From: End Credits Track of 'Exorcist II' by Ennio Morricone'

Another number copied in this movie was the title song – which was lifted straight out of the ending credits of the famous horror movie. Now that's something!

5. Song: 'Akele Hain To Kya Gham Hai' from 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'

Copied From: 'Return to the Alamo' by 'The Shadows'

The 80s saw the popularity of music director duo Anand-Milind soar – and it is disheartening to know that one of their most popular numbers from QSQT was actually a direct lift from the British instrumental rock group.

6. Song: 'Laila Main Laila' from 'Qurbani'

Copied From: 'Chicano' by 'Black Blood'

As the 70s led way into the 80s, 'Qurbani' released with its awesome soundtrack – and Kalyanji-Anandji won the hearts of the music lovers. From an African song to Indian cabaret – 'Laila Main Laila' was quite the jump.

7. Song: 'Koi Mil Gaya' from 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'

Copied From: 'Take That Look Off Your Face' by Helen Welsh and the Company

One of the most successful soundtracks at the end of the 90s was undoubtedly that of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' – with the freshness of Jatin-Lalit's music direction. But alas… 'Koi Mil Gaya', one of the movie's popular numbers, was also inspired from the West. Just click and listen.

8. Song: 'Mehbooba Mehbooba' from 'Sholay'

Copied From: 'Say You Love Me' by Demis Roussos

Even geniuses were not innocent in the game of musical plagiarism that plagues Bollywood. R.D. Burman won our hearts with his work in 'Sholay', but he too lifted right off the music of Demis Roussos.

9. Song: Title Song from 'Gupt'

Copied From: 'Deep Forest' by 'Deep Forest'

French musical group Deep Forest's eponymous number was picked up by Viju Shah to compose the catchy title song of the murder mystery 'Gupt'.

10. Song: 'Hare Krishna Hare Ram' from 'Bhool Bhulaiya'
Music Director: Pritam( No. 1 Thief)

Copied From: 'My Lecon' by JTL

No list of musical plagiarism is complete without mentioning Pritam. The modern-day Anu Malik composed the upbeat number 'Hare Krishna Hare Ram' for 'Bhool Bhulaiya' after borrowing 'inspiration' from Korean hip hop trio JTL's number 'My Lecon'.

11. Song: 'Pal pal' from 'Lage raho munnabhai'
Music Director: Anand Milind

Copied From: Theme for a dream (Cliff Richard's)


12. Hindi Song: Dhoom Machaale (Dhoom)
Music Director: Pritam

Copied From: Mario takes a walk (Jesse Cook)

One thing you have to admit about these music directors, they do scan the length and breadth of world music to select the best music to steal.
