CNN IBN ran a story recently, about our friend Pritam copying (?) his own song. I really fail to see the news value here. Pritam has done it so often that it sounds like a lame attempt to either manufacture news or defame Pritam. Further. For the record, Pritam has already lifted from his own soundtracks - not once, but as many as 4 times. 5, if you include this latest CNN IBN 'expose'!
So, Janmabhoomi (and its other variant, Zindagi hai to), from the 2004 Jimmy Shergill starrer, Agnipankh, became Bheega bheega sa in Chocolate (2005). Its quite a different issue that both the tunes were lifted off Abrar-ul-haq's original, 'December'.
Listen to Janmabhoomi | Zindagi hai to | Bheega bheega sa (Chocolate) | December (Abrar-ul-haq)
Again, another re-use from Agnipankh (Seems like Pritam loves this un-heard soundtrack!) is the track, Mera dil fida, that has been remodelled into Aa dil se dil in the recent Naqaab!
Listen to Mera dil fida | Aa dil se dil
Raghu Romeo's Strawberry hoon main (2003) becomes the slightly more popular Sania badnaam in Apna sapna money money (2006).
Listen to Strawberry hoon main | Sania badnaam
Jal jal ke from Ek khiladi ek haseena (2005) becomes Hai ishq, in Bas ek pal (2006). The small hitch here is that both have been lifted off Lebanese singer Yuri Mrakadi's Arabiyom ana (2001).
Listen to Jal jal ke | Hai ishq | Arabyion Ana
And, to round off the list,
Listen to Aye dil (Naqaab) | Bolo (Aria)
Some list, this!
