On September 16, the second song of the most awaited movie of the year Ae Dil Hai Mushkil titled Bulleya was released and it left everyone spellbound with its beautiful lyrics, powerful music and crackling chemistry between the lead pair Aishwarya Rai and Ranbir Kapoor.
And in just four days the latest track from the film garnered over 10 million views on YouTube. Surprisingly, it still has people hooked on. And although everything about the song composed by music composer Pritam seems to be melodious and visually stunning, there's one thing that isn't quite right.
The song is facing allegations of plagiarism.
The introductory riff of the track is allegedly lifted from Papa Roach's Last Resort. And when social media users realised this striking resemblance between the guitar riff portions of the two tracks, they couldn't hold back and vented their angst on social media.
Pritam Da Can't Compose A Single Track without Copying ???? Awesome Lyrics And vocals but Copied From Papa Roach's Last Resort #Bulleya#ADHM— khader sharief (@khader_sharief) September 16, 2016
FINALLY heard #Bulleya & got reminded of why i stopped listening to Pritam in the first place. What a rip off of Last Resort! BC!— ???? (@KaapiRight) September 17, 2016
#Bulleya A peppy song that will grow on repeated hearings. But its beats have an uncanny resemblance to Last Resort.https://t.co/ApLN5nq4I1— Krishna (@resonative5) September 16, 2016
@DoughtyDream Wonderful to go after an artist & music which you clearly know nothing about! Atleast read up before defaming! Idiot— Bhairavi Sampat (@bhairavisampat) September 17, 2016
@SenatorSameer Heard this song again. The Shilpa Rao's part is brilliant. The lyrics are strong, and very meaningful.— Sameer Siddiqui (@SenatorSameer) September 17, 2016
However, Sunny MR, producer of the track denied all allegations in an interview to SpotBoyE.
He was quoted telling SpotBoyE, "The Bulleya guitar riff is, musically, no where close to any of the songs it's being referred to. The notes are totally different. The riff is in a simple 1/16 timing widely used in many genres not limited to any specific song. This timing is also used for many background score pieces. It's like calling a rock song a copy of another rock song just because they use the same set of instruments."
