The fact that Bollywood composers are highly inspired by International music is a known fact. Mind it, I said inspired because good composers do not steal, they borrow. Yes it’s called borrowing, and while most of the borrowed music does get caught, many are passed off as original compositions. Here’s a list of such borrowed music along with the original source it was borrowed from!
Nashe Si Chad Gayi from Befikre has been copied from Junjuo Romantica OST
Looks like music directors Vishal and Shekar are fans of Junjuo Romantico, so much so that they’ve been befikre and used the music of Junjuo Romantico for Nashe Si Chad Gayi from Befikre.
The Guitar tune in Bulleya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was copied from Last Resort Papa Roach
Pritam da tops the list when it comes to being inspired by international music for his compositions Was the music from Resort Papa Roach for Bulleya, Pritam’s last resort for the music of Bulleya from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
Yeh Ishq Haye from Jab We Met is a copy of Anggun In your Mind
Looks like hunting for tunes to copy from is Pritam’s favourite hobby, because the kind of music he seems to find to rip off is amazing. That requires serious skills too. If you’ve loved humming to Yeh Ishq Haye from Jab We Met, you’re sure to love Anggun In your Mind too.
Pehli Nazar Mein from Race has been copied from Sarang Hae Yo Kim Hyung
Pritam da does it again, Pehli Nazar Mein from Race is a rip off of a Korean movie Sarang Hae Yo Kim Hyung.Looks like he fell in love with this song in the Pehli Nazar only!
Love is A Waste of Time is a rip off of Every thing at Once
Composed by Shantanu Moitra the music of Love Is A Waste of Time from the movie PK sounds just like Everything at Once.
Whether it’s borrowed or original, music is therapeutic so enjoy it bindaas!
