Hindi Song: Dole Dole Dil (Baazi) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Come September (Theme) Note: Another copy of the Come September tune is Nazrein Mili (Raja) by Nadeem-Shravan. Hindi Song: Aisa Zakhm Diya (Akele Hum Akele Tum) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Sweet Child In Time (Deep Purple) Note: The opening and closing portions of the Hindi song are inspired. Hindi Song: Dil Mera Churaaya Kyoon (Akele Hum Akele Tum) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Last Christmas (Wham) Note: The funniest thing is that in the movie, Aamir Khan's character sells this tune to another musician, and everyone makes a big deal about "stealing" credit for another's work.

Hindi Song: Jeena Pyaar Se Jeena (Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar) Music Director: Anand-Milind Copied From: Nina Pretty Ballerina (ABBA) Note: Direct lift; ABBA seems to be a frequent victim. Hindi Song: Baraana De (Insaaf) Music Director: Anand-Milind Copied From: Paranue (Serapis Bey) Note: They even rhyme!

Hindi Song: Laaoon Kahan Se (Jaane Jigar) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Hotel California (Eagles) Hindi Song: Jai Kaali (Karan Arjun) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: It's All Right (East 17) Note: That's just pathetic. Hindi Song: Haseena Gori Gori (Tarazu) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: In The Summertime (Shaggy) Note: I don't think he even tried to hide this one. Hindi Song: Chaand Sitaare (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Voices (Vangelis) Note: Brace yourself; you're about to see Rajesh Roshan's ugly history of blatantly stealing from Vangelis for his themes. Hindi Song: Badan Judaa Hote (Koyla) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Conquest Of Paradise (Vangelis) Note: Again, the recurring humming theme in Koyla is a copy. Hindi Song: Humko Pyaar Hai (Moksha) Music Director: Rajesh Roshan Copied From: Messages (Vangelis) Note: Why doesn't he just hire Vangelis to compose for him? Hindi Song: Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke (Old) Music Director: Ravi Copied From: The Breeze And I (Al Stillman and Ernesto Lecuona) Hindi Song: Jeevan Ke Safar Mein (Munimji) Music Director: S.D. Burman Copied From: The Mexican Hat Dance Note: At least the Hindi song has a completely different aura.

Hindi Song: Roundhe Hai (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya) Music Director: W. Killar & Sandeep Chowta Copied From: Vampire Hunters (Bram Stoker's Dracula) Note: Why did he need help from someone else just to copy a tune? Hindi Song: Kambakth Ishq (Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya) Music Director: Sandeep Chowta Copied From: Eireann (Afro Celt Sound System) Note: Interesting story here; Chowta was accused of using an unoriginal beat, which he defended by saying that he took his beat from a public website. But what about the TUNE that he lifted from this song? Hindi Song: Yeh Pyaar Hai (Indian) Music Director: Anand Raaj Anand Copied From: Ojos Asi (Shakira) Hindi Song: Gupt Gupt (Gupt) Music Director: Viju Shah Copied From: Deep Forest (Deep Forest) Note: Hilarious.

Hindi Song: Neend Churaayi Meri (Ishq) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: Sending All My Love (Tolga) Note: I think freestyle music sounds nice when sung in Hindi; it should be done more often. Hindi Song: Kuch Kasmein (Aankhen) Music Director: Jatin-Lalit Copied From: Nights In White Satin (Moody Blues) Note: So Jatin-Lalit's self-proclaimed "new style" is to copy different tunes? Hindi Song: Tinak Tin Taana (Mann) Music Director: Sanjeev-Darshan Copied From: Yang Sedang-Sedang Saja (Iwan - Malaysian) Note: Not a shred of originality on Sanjeev-Darshan's part. Hindi Song: I Was Made For Loving You (Jaanam Samjha Karo) Music Director: Anu Malik Copied From: I Was Made For Loving You (Kiss) Note: Big surprise.
