Bollywood copies Call The Band’s song Laree Choote
Bollywood doesn’t stop when it comes to copying Pakistani songs and now they’ve copied Call The Band’s hit song Laree Choote.
The chorus of the Kesariya song from the upcoming Bollywood movie Brahmastra it is surprisingly similar to that of the Pakistani melody.

It is pertinent to mention that Laree Choote is the soundtrack of the Bollywood movie Ek Chalis Ki Last Local. Actors Neha Dhupia and Abhay Deol appear in the music video.
Social media users discovered that the song resembled the hit by Call The Band. They lambasted the creators for lack of originality.
Absolutely ridiculous that Bollywood has banned Pakistani artists but continues to copy their music without giving them credit. Brahmastra song music #kesariya seems to have copied the song from Call The Band #LaareeChootee

It is pertinent to mention that the Bollywood movie JugJugg Jeeyo sparked controversy when singer Abrar-ul-Haq’s song Nach Punjaban was featured in its trailer.

“I have not sold my song Nach Punjaban to any Indian film and I reserve the rights to go to court to claim damages,” he tweeted. βProducers like Karan Johar shouldn’t use ripped songs. This is my sixth song to be copied and it will not be allowed at all.β

However, his accusations were denied by the film’s creators when a UK-based record label, ‘Movie Box’, got involved and claimed that they had licensed the song for inclusion in the film.
Nach Panjaban has been officially licensed for inclusion in the movie “JugJugg Jeeyo” by @TSeries. @karanjohar & @DharmaMovies have the legal rights to use this song in their movie and the tweet from @OpenUlHaqPK today is defamatory and completely unacceptable.

The official music video saw Abrar-ul-Haq credited for his song. His name was added to the musical composition and lyrics below the credits.
Stop stealing our songs..@karanjohar @TSeries @DharmaMovies #StopStealingOurSongs pic.twitter.com/6EMJ6rZRlD

He then announced taking legal action against Karan Johar and T-series for using his song in the upcoming movie JugJugg Jeeyo.
