Film: Mann (1999)
<TC>
|
01. Kaali naagin jaisi: Lifted from Rachid Taha's
'Ya Rayah'.
02. Tinak tin tana:
Lifted exactly from the Malaysian song 'yang sedang-sedang saja' by Iwan
[There are frequent allegations that Malaysian pop music
(called 'dangdut') borrows heavily from Hindi film music - but this is a
sure-shot case for the reverse. According to Iwan, his song came out in
1997, while Mann came in 1999. Check out Iwan's interview
in an online magazine - you'd need a Malay-English
translator to know what it means. Just copy-paste the 5th question
and its answer and translate via the site mentioned!]
03. Chaha hai tujko: Lifted blatantly from Tamil composer SA
Rajkumar's 'Etho oru paattu' from the movie 'Unnidathil ennai koduthen'
04. Nasha yeh pyaar ka nasha hai: Lifted note to note from L'Italiano
by Italian composer Toto Cutugno!
05. Kehna Tumse Kehna: The prelude and the feel of the
song lifted entirely from 'Liquid' by Jars of Clay (1995).
06. Khushiyaan aur gham:
Plagiarized directly off the song, Come Vorrei, by one of
the most popular Italian pop music groups, Ricchi & Poveri
(from their 1981 album, E Penso A Te) |

This would go down in the history of Indian cinema as the worst debut by
any composer - 6 blatant lifts in one debut!

Tum kya jaano [Film:
Aashiq]
<TC>
|
From the Love theme in Godfather, by Nino Rota.
|
Listen to
Tum kya jaano
| Godfather
Love Theme
|
Ditto! Also check out Anu Malik's version
of the same original - Anu Malik page, 12th item! An interesting trivia rejoinder:
One of
this site's visitors, CB, wrote in asking if I thought the Godfather
love theme sounds similar to Dimitri Tiomkin's Academy Award winning
score for 'High Noon' (the song was also called 'Do not forsake me...').
When I heard Dimitri's number, I felt it sure did have traces of Nino's
score....or the other way round, since Nino's Godfather score came in
1972 while High Noon came in 1951!. Incidentally CB remembered such a
similarity after listening to the Aashiq number! Try listening to the
High Noon number and compare it with Akele hum akele tum's 'Raja ko rani
se pyaar ho gaya'....the opening is very much there but with subtle
differences and even the part which goes 'dil jigar dono ghayal...'!
Surprising! Interestingly, both Dimitri Tiomkin and Nino Rota have won
Academy awards for their respective works in High Noon and The
Godfather. Its a different story that the Academy realized that some of the music for
The Godfather was recycled from an Italian movie ('Fortunella') that
Nino had scored some time back and declared it ineligible in its category and withdrew the nomination. However, two years later, Rota was nominated in the same category for his work on "The Godfather: Part II," and this time he won the
Oscar (but had to be content by sharing it co-composer, Carmine Coppola,
father of director Francis Ford Coppola - and grand dad of actor
Nicholas Cage!!)

<TC> |
Utterly blatant
lift from Amr Diab's 1998 track, 'Kol el kalam' |
Listen to

The original
was part of Amr Diab's 1998 album, 'Awedony' (incidentally,
this track went by the name, 'Kalast Feek Kol Alkalam' in
his very popular all-time hits compilation). This is a
straight, unimaginative and blatant lift....its so blatant
that its funny! |
