Indian listeners have found similarities between ‘Mashooqa’ from ‘Cocktail 2’ and ‘Se So ArrubateANonna’ by Bibi& Coco, and it is time to find out Pritam’s music magic.
A user on Reddit has recently posted on the platform about the striking similarities between ‘Se So ArrubateANonna’ and ‘Mashooqa’. A lot of other users joined the thread and clarified the fact, and it quickly spread through the internet. The identical composition has been confirmed by a huge number of music lovers, and some of them showed disgust for the Copy Culture of Pritam. The current Bollywood gossip is revolving around this track now, and users have joined the banter, saying, “Pritam can’t stop copying lol.” Some other questioned, “Bollywood copying again?” The comments from the users on social media ensure that they are already aware of the fact that the composer is a master of his craft of copying.
Regardless of the notoriety, it cannot be denied that ‘Mashooqa’ is quite an interesting track, and it does come with a certain sense of appeal which perfectly goes with the sequel of ‘Cocktail’. This romantic and peppy track also showcases the chemistry between KritiSanon and ShahidKapoor, who will be playing the central characters. Composed by Pritam, this track is written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and performed by RaghavChaitanya and MahmoodRuaaKayy, and each of the artists has done a great job. The vibe of the song is great, and it is a good music project even if it is copied.
When it comes to the aspect of copyright infringement, one of the Reddit users supported Pritam’s initiative and said, “This is called sampling, not stealing/copying.” And it is true that the idea of sampling is quite common, especially in the American music industry, which influences global music culture. The track ‘Se So ArrubateANonna’ is a comedic Neapolitan song by the talented Italian duo, Bibi& Coco. Since they have not filed a case for copyright, the controversy is limited to the internet only, and there are no real-life steps. However, this is a highly popular Italian track that not only became a global hit but also maintained its popularity in the following years. It is a question of how global music lovers will receive it.
This is not the first time, but composer PritamChakraborty has been accused of copying songs for a long time now. The allegations of plagiarism in the composition are quite valid, and listeners have confirmed that. Previously, in 2017, the composer was accused of copying a song by the band Papa Roach and turning it into ‘Bulleya’ from the movie ‘AeDilHaiMushkil’. Quite evidently, the song became a hit among the Indian audiences who are unaware of the plagiarism. It is a question of artistic dignity and offering transparency to listeners, and Pritam has already admitted his ‘Mistakes’ in an interview in 2016. Now, a decade has passed, and listeners are still finding similarities. Despite the controversies, it is safe to say that ‘Mashooqa’ stands out for its unique musical approach and generates more anticipation for the upcoming release of ‘Cocktail 2’.
