Rajkumar Santoshi's latest, Halla Bol's teaser is out. And the teaser's music, along with the style of words depicted on screen seems to be causing a huge problem. Its so uncannily similar to the opening music and video of Van Halen's 'Right now'. The official composer of Halla Bol is Sukhwinder Singh. Wonder if he has anything to do with this teaser!

Bollywood is turning over a new leaf! A recent news item says that Jab we met director Imtiaz Ali had used the track, 'Walking on sunshine' by the 80s group Katrina & The Waves for one of the promos of the film starring Shahid and Kareena Kapoor. Imtiaz had also planned to use the track as part of the background music, but he couldn't track the copyright owners of the song and actually decided to drop its usage altogether than risk a lawsuit later, as Karan Johar realized the hard way! Good... Read Full Story

Aaja Nachle's plot seems to be inspired by the 2004 Swedish Academy Award nominated film, 'Så som i himmelen'! Take a look at Aaja Nachle's promo and then read about the Swedish film, in IMDB and Wikipedia ! Interesting huh? The title song seems to have paid homage to a Bengali folk song, 'Dada paye pori re', made popular by Anshuman Roy. Pradipto Das who wrote in with this fab piece of info notes that this folk track was first released in an album during the late 70s. Listen to Aaja Nachle... Read Full Story

man, Liebert himself! He stumbled upon the fact that Pritam's Ankahee number 'Aa paas aa' is lifted off his 'Starry night' from this site . He also notes marginal, musical lifts in the remix of Khakee's 'Aisa jadoo'...the guitar in particular is close to his '2 the night'. But the influences are marginal and almost incidental, so I'm not too keen on even a trivia mention. Read Full Story

Here's some fantastic reading material - if you're a keen follower of music plagiarism across the globe. Carl Horowitz, in his recent write-up titled, ' Sue me, sue you ' starts with Bruce Springsteen's latest single, 'Radio nowhere' and explains beautifully the dilemma in identifying music plagiarism given the limited sounds we humans work with. Makes for excellent read! Read Full Story

Thanks to this track, we have discovered the source of 2 other Bappi Lahiri tracks (Bappi Lahiri page, listing number 20 and 21). The main refrain in this song has a fleeting similarity to the 1946 Calypso hit 'Mary Ann', lifted twice by Bappi da! But, as I mentioned, the similarity is fleeting and that's why I've added this in the Trivia page. Listen to Hum to aise hain | Mary Ann Read Full Story

Saregama India was recently in the news over a lawsuit they had initiated against Timbaland and The Game for allegedly sampling one of their tracks in the song, 'Put you on the game' ( YouTube Link) from The Game's 2005 album, 'The Documentary'. After the Dr.Dre/ Truth Hurts incident I was curious about the song in question and the amount of alleged lift. The Hindi song sampled is SD Burman's (or RD Burman's, depends on which version you believe!) Aradhana hit, 'Baagon mein bahaar hai'. The... Read Full Story

CNN IBN ran a story recently , about our friend Pritam copying (?) his own song. I really fail to see the news value here. Pritam has done it so often that it sounds like a lame attempt to either manufacture news or defame Pritam. Further. For the record, Pritam has already lifted from his own soundtracks - not once, but as many as 4 times. 5, if you include this latest CNN IBN 'expose'! So, Janmabhoomi (and its other variant, Zindagi hai to), from the 2004 Jimmy Shergill starrer, Agnipankh... Read Full Story

Farah Khan's funny brother, Sajid Khan has been crying hoarse that his directorial debut 'Heyy Babyy' is not inspired by the Tom Selleck - Ted Danson starrer ' Three men and a baby '. Well, the teaser that was released in IndiaFM recently seems to scream otherwise...looks exactly like the 1987 Hollywood film! Sajid could however seek refuge by saying that he got inspired by the 1985 French comedy, ' 3 hommes et un couffin ' ('Three men and a cradle', the source of the English film!), since...
