Hindi Song: Dil Le Le Lena (Auzaar) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Macarena (Los Del Rio) Note: For all it's worth, Malik admits in the beginning of the song that it's a copy. Hindi Song: Dil Maka Dina (Dhaal) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Macarena (Los Del Rio) Note: Again? Hindi Song: Tumne Jo Kaha (Laawaris) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Barbie Girl (Aqua) Hindi Song: Koi Nahin Tere Jaisa (Keemat) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Cotton Eye Joe (Rednex) Hindi Song: Tumhe Kaise Main Bataaoon (Dastak) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: The Windmills Of Your Mind (The Thomas Crown Affair) Hindi Song: Paayal Meri Jaadu (Rajkumar) Music Director: Laxmikant-Pyarelal Copied From: Faith (George Michael) Hindi Song: Na Tum Bolo (Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge) Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Copied From: A Whole New World (Aladdin) Hindi Song: Aisa Milan (Hameshaa) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: The Phantom Of The Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber) Note: I find the Phantom song to be a much better composition with a haunting tune.

Hindi Song: Tum Kya Jaano (Aashiq) Music Director: Sanjeev-Darshan Copied From: Theme from The Godfather Note: Another straight lift, but Sanjeev-Darshan's style gives it an edge over the original. Hindi Song: Koi Nahin Aisa (Dillagi) Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Copied From: Mony Mony (Tommy James and The Shondells) Note: Again, a complete lift.

Hindi Song: Suno Zara (Bada Din) Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Copied From: You Needed Me (Anne Murray) Note: Complete lift; when they copy, Jatin-Lalit tend to go all the way with it. Hindi Song: Aashiq Deewana Hoon (Afsana Pyar Ka) Music Director: Bappi Lahiri Copied From: La Bamba (Ritchie Valens) Hindi Song: Ae Mama Haan Bhaanje (Silsila Hai Pyar Ka) Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Copied From: Dr. Jones (Aqua) Note: The yodeling part from the Aqua song is copied with no reservations. Hindi Song: Tirchi Topiwaale (Tridev) Music Director: Viju Shah Copied From: The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You (Miami Sound Machine) Hindi Song: Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (C.I.D.) Music Director: O.P. Nayyar Copied From: Oh My Darling Clementine (Unknown source) Note: Where do they come up with this stuff? Hindi Song: Main Teri Hoon Jaanam (Khoon Bhari Maang) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Theme from Chariots of Fire Note: Again, sounds horrid when sung. Hindi Song: Mil Gaya (Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin) Music Director: R.D. Burman Copied From: Mama Mia (ABBA) Hindi Song: Chim Chimni (Ghoonghat) Music Director: Anand Raaj Anand Copied From: Chim Chimney (Mary Poppins) Note: Hmm... Hindi Song: Kya Kehna (Kya Kehna) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Oh Carol (Paul Anka) Note: Both songs work for me.

Hindi Song: Chura Liya Hai Tumne (Yaadon Ki Baraat) 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. Hindi Song: Himmat Kabhi Na Todenge (Major Saab) Music Director: Anand Raaj Anand Copied From: U.S. Army marching song Note: I find this to be one of the most inane instances of copying yet! Hindi Song: Paagalpan Chha Gaya (Jaanam) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: And I Love Her (Beatles) Note: It's interesting how Anu Malik always adds his unique touch even to his copied songs, making them often hard to decipher. Hindi Song: Teri Chaahat Ke Siva (Jaanam) Music Director: Anu Malik 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) Note: Some of the background music is inspired by My Favorite Things.
