  Hindi Song:       Haan Haan Yeh Pyaar Hai (Dillagi) Music Director:   Jatin-Lalit Copied From:      Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (Frankie Valli) Note:             Direct lift from original, but sounds beautiful in Hindi. 

 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:       Itna Na Mujhse Tu Pyar Badha(Chhaya) Music Director:   Salil Chowdhury Copied From:      Symphony No. 40 (Mozart) Note:             Indication that "inspired" tunes are nothing new in Hindi music. 

 Hindi Song:       Chehra Tera Chehra (Daag - The Fire) Music Director:   Rajesh Roshan Copied From:      Theme from Titanic Note:             Stupid choice. 

 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:       Tu Woh Tu Hai (Beqaabu) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      Theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Note:             Sounds terrible when sung. 

 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:       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:       Mere Rang Mein (Maine Pyar Kiya) Music Director:   Raam Laxman Copied From:      The Final Countdown (Europe) Note:             Only the music of Mere Rang Mein is lifted from The Final Countdown.

 Hindi Song:       We Love Rocky (Aflatoon) Music Director:   Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen Copied From:      We Will Rock You (Queen) Note:             Sticking English lyrics in Hindi songs is NEVER a good idea. 

 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. 

 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:       Tu Waaqif Nahin (Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      Fernando (ABBA) Note:             Only the main refrain is inspired; no harm done. 

 Hindi Song:       Sun Sun Sun Barsaat Ki Dhun (Sir) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      Listen To The Sound Of The Rain (Jose Feliciano) 

 Hindi Song:       Ladna Jhagadna (Duplicate) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      A-Tisket A-Tasket (Children's song) Note:             Wow. 

 Hindi Song:       Ek Sharaarat Hone Ko Hai (Duplicate) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      Slip And Slide (Laura Allen) Note:             Only the "la lai lai" tune is copied. 

 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:       Mujhe Neend Na Aaye (Dil) Music Director:   Anand-Milind Copied From:      Chunni Ud Ud Jaaye (Alaap - UK band) 

 Hindi Song:       Hari Om Hari (Pyaara Dushman) Music Director:   Bappi Lahiri Copied From:      One Way Ticket (Eruption) 

 Hindi Song:       Koi Yahan Naache Naache(Disco Dancer) Music Director:   Bappi Lahiri Copied From:      Video Killed The Radio Star (The Buggles) Note:             One part of the song is copied.

 Hindi Song:       Jaana Suno Hum (Khamoshi) Music Director:   Jatin-Lalit Copied From:      Bring The Wine (Paul Anka) Note:             Note for note. 

 Hindi Song:       Koi Mil Gaya (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) Music Director:   Jatin-Lalit Copied From:      Take That Look Off Your Face (Song And Dance) Note:             The part when the title of the song is sung. 

 Hindi Song:       Yunhi Kat Jaayega (Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke) Music Director:   Nadeem-Shravan Copied From:      Lovely Lady Of Arcadia (Demis Roussos) 

 Hindi Song:       O Mere Sapnon Ka (Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin) Music Director:   Nadeem-Shravan Copied From:      Bachelor Boy (Cliff Richard) 

 Hindi Song:       Pehli Baar Mile Hain (Saajan) Music Director:   Nadeem-Shravan Copied From:      Solitude Standing (Suzanne Vega) Note:             Pretty cleverly done. 

 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:       Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya (Title) Music Director:   Sandeep Chowta Copied From:      Exorcist II: The Heretic (Theme) Note:             Et tu, Sandeep? 

 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:       Babuji Dheere Chalna (Aar Paar) Music Director:   O.P. Nayyar Copied From:      Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps(Doris Day) Note:             Nayyar did good work on this one. 

 Hindi Song:       Mehbooba Mehbooba (Sholay) Music Director:   R.D. Burman Copied From:      Say You Love Me (Demis Roussos) Note:             Both songs make you wince equally. 

 Hindi Song:       Tumse Milke (Parinda) Music Director:   R.D. Burman Copied From:      When I Need You (Leo Sayer) 

 Hindi Song:       Kaisa Tera Pyaar (Love Story) Music Director:   R.D. Burman Copied From:      I Have A Dream (ABBA) Note:             As usual, the Hindi song is infinitely better. 

 Hindi Song:       Aa Ab Laut Chalen (Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai) Music Director:   Shankar Jaikishan Copied From:      Ciao Ciao Bambina (Domenico Modugno) 

 Hindi Song:       Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle (Aa Gale Lag Jaa) Music Director:   R.D. Burman Copied From:      The Yellow Rose Of Texas (Elvis Presley) Note:             Sounds like a crazy idea, but it actually worked pretty well. 

 Hindi Song:       Neela Dupatta Peela Suit (Hameshaa) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      All I Wanna Say (Michael Jackson) Note:             The beats and opening portion are inspired. 

 Hindi Song:       Love Hua (Jaanam Samjha Karo) Music Director:   Anu Malik Copied From:      Angelo (Brotherhood Of Man) Note:             Another case of "good" copying. 

 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. 

 Hindi Song:       Oh Jaanam (Dulhan Banoo Main Teri) Music Director:   Raam Laxman Copied From:      Frozen (Madonna) Note:             Just listen to Madonna's pronounciation of Sanskrit shlokas                   in her song "Om Shanti" and you'll feel much better. 

 Hindi Song:       Kimti Kimti Hai Zindagi (Criminal) Music Director:   M.M. Kreem Copied From:      Lonely Lonely Monday Morning (Snow) Note:             Ooooookay... 

 Hindi Song:       Na Bole Tum Na Maine (Baaton Baaton Mein) Music Director:   Rajesh Roshan Copied From:      When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore) Note:             I'm glad to see that Rajesh Roshan finds the American Civil                   War to be so romantic. 

 Hindi Song:       Marne Ke Darr Se (Jurm) Music Director:   Rajesh Roshan Copied From:      La Isla Bonita (Madonna) Note:             Only the first line of the Madonna song is copied, but it's                   pretty obvious.
