The first such attempt in the history of Hindi film industry of copying a song by two three music directors simultaneously was around the time HUM was released, and the song 'Jumma chumma de de', set to score by Laxmikant Pyarelal was copied as 'Tama Tamma loge' by Bappi Lahiri in THANEDAR. Shekhar and Vishal who have given the music for 'Chammak Challo' in RA.ONE may not be amused by the attempt of Sajid- Wajid to copy their popular song, but it has happened. Moot point is that the tradition of basking in reflected glory, instead of striving to create one's own space has been a problem with the Hindi film industry. The lyrics have been twisted to 'Kato gilhari Chammak Challo raani', whether it makes sense or not and it has been sung by Mamta Sharma of 'Munni badnam Hui' fame from DABANGG, ably supported by Daler Mehndi. Akon may be fuming and even Shah Rukh Khan may not be amused by this blatant copying of his popular song, but it has been done in MILEY NA MILEY HUM and it has been made into an item song, marking the debut of sultry and sexy Shweta Tiwari on to the silver screen, before she entered into the house of Big Boss. However, as it has been a tradition with the Hindi film industry, a successful song spawns illegal clones, so it has happened with RA.ONE's Chammak Challo as well. It is difficult to discern that Akon, who has sung the song, does not know Hindi, but it is a fact. RA.ONE's Chammak Challo has set the nation on fire and there are four different versions of the song in the film and each one of them has been rendered with finesse by Akon. RA.ONE: Chammak Challo and the trend of copycats in Hindi cinemaĬopy cats in Hindi cinema flourish with impunity.
