Music composer Anu Malik alleges that Pritam Chakraborty has lifted the entire tune of his "Mohabaat naam hai kiska" from "Ajnabee" and used it in the song "Character dhila hai".
The song features in director Anees Bazmee forthcoming movie "Ready" and is picturised on Salman Khan and Zarine Khan.
"The full tempo, the full tune has been taken and ripped off," Anu told IANS. "I had liked the song and had called and congratulated Aneesji for such a fantastic song. Then I found that I was clapping for my own song," he added.
Anu may file a suit for plagiarising his song.
"We have to take a legal opinion and then take a call. I will talk to my lawyer first as it is a straight rip-off of my song," said Anu.
He wonders why Pritam didn't bother to give credit to R.D. Burman for using his composition in the title song of Rohan Sippy's "Dum Maaro Dum".
"First of all they copied Panchamda's tune and called it their own. 'Dum maro dum' is actually Panchamda's composition. They don't even give credit. It's terrible. You cannot copy other's composition and call it your own and then get away and get applause," he said.
Check the songs and they do seem similar.
Character Dheela
Ajnabee song from which it is copied
wow,first Bappi,now Anu
ReplyDeleteAnu has lifted soooo many songs before,he even lifted his own song from Baazigar for the title for Ishq,this is beyond stupid
Doesn't make a difference,they sound a bit similar yes,so do many songs,but that does not make it a complete copy,seriously,you can just say inspired or sampled,not copied
no much legal actions can be taken for this.Seriously,this just seems a bit stupid
Anu listen to your tracks to see 100% copied
no wonder character dheela sound like i had heard it before the first time i listened to the song!!!
ReplyDeleteCopy or not, one thing is for sure:
ReplyDeleteIf they make an official remake of American Pie in Bollywood, Zarine Khan would perfectly suit the role of Stifler's Mom!
omg, they sounds so similar
ReplyDeleteYes. doesn't feel so good when someone does it TO you now, does it Anu? Cause it's high time you got sued by many a Latin singer for copying their songs. Eg. Ek Garam Chai Ki Payli Ho
ReplyDeleteAnu Malik himself has lifted a lot of tunes. Wonder what all this is about.
