Here's another case of "happens only in Bollywood"! 😀 First, check this copy: https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/113991156831766259 😀 Now, try this one:

Original (1946): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek6NZg5r7Gc
Copy (1981): https://youtu.be/tS6m8paAgMA?t=45 / https://youtu.be/tS6m8paAgMA?t=134 / https://youtu.be/tS6m8paAgMA?t=204 / https://youtu.be/tS6m8paAgMA?t=274 etc.

Guess what? Both copies are by the same "composer", a certified repeat offender! 😀 This is him: https://mastodon.social/@Copiers/112388722040689206 (+ many, many others! 😀)
