Let’s just agree, India’s famous film industry called Bollywood is best at making movies and entertaining audiences but unfortunately, when it comes to creating good music, the industry lacks.
Plagiarism in India is not new as Bollywood is known for copying Pakistani songs, without even giving them due credit. After the recent plagiarism case claimed by Abrar-ul-Haq against Karan Johar who copied Haq’s song and used it in his upcoming movie, people are talking about how the industry steals the song and easily gets away without giving Pakistani singers the credit.
India does not only plagiarise music from Pakistan, they even copy from Arab, Korea, and Hollywood. The irony, this is not the first time Bollywood has copiedHaq’s song; here are five times when Bollywood fearlessly copied Pakistani songs that were sung by Abrar-ul-Haq.
