Tanishk Bagchi Reacts To Claims That Saiyaara Title Song Is Copied From One Direction Track: "Whatever I Do..."
Mohit Suri's musical Saiyaara has been making waves on social media, courtesy its music. Tanishk Bagchi, who is one of the composers of the song along with singers Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, now reacted to the controversy that the title song of the film has been copied from One Direction's Night Changes and Jubin Nautiyal's Humnava Mere in a chat with India Today.
What's Happening
While social media is flooded with reels featuring Saiyaara title track, a section of the Internet claimed that the song has been copied from One Direction's Night Changes and Jubin Nautiyal's Humnava Mere.
Speaking to India Today, Tanishk Bagchi said, "Whatever I do, people will have something to say because they don't have [anything better to do]. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down. But ultimately, the song will go wherever it's destined to, and that's what's happening with Saiyaara too. As for the comparisons, if you look at the melody, the chords are the same. The A minor scale has just about 3-4 chords but every melody has a different soul. That doesn't mean that anything was stolen. Even if you can do that, it's really difficult to make it a hit."
"All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose. Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (we didn't pick and add anything). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of the track 'Saiyaara'," he said in his defence.
"The best thing is that it's an original Hindi song, a pure Hindi song. There is no collaboration with foreign artists; everyone associated is home-grown, so that's a big achievement for me. I did have an intuition that this could go viral, but I never expected it to top global charts. I think it's purely the hard work on the song and the pure intention that worked in its favour," he said.
Saiyaara title track featured on Spotify's viral top 50 tracks, along with making it to the top five global hit songs on the platform.

You may have often heard about actors or actresses in the film industry being replaced overnight by other stars. This isn't something new; it has been happening for decades. Sometimes, it's due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons. Something similar happened almost 30 years ago, when Juhi Chawla was the first choice of the filmmakers for a particular film. She was even signed for the role, but due to unforeseen reasons, she backed out. The role eventually went to Karisma Kapoor, and the film featured Govinda as the male lead. We are talking about a 1995 comedy masala, directed by David Dhawan. It was one of the first successful movies of Karisma Kapoor. Over the years, the movie has become a cult classic and is now considered one of the greatest Hindi films ever made. The name of the film is ' Coolie No. 1 ' and the fact is also true that Dhawan first reached out to Juhi for the lead actress role. But it had to go to Karisma. In the 1990s, Govinda and Karisma Kapoor were one of the most popular on-screen pairs, delivering several superhit romantic comedies. One such iconic film was Coolie No. 1. Let's find out why Juhi opted out of the project and how much the film went on to earn at the box office. Why did Karisma Kapoor replace Juhi Chawla in Coolie No. 1? According to IMDb, producer Vashu Bhagnani and director David Dhawan initially wanted to cast Juhi Chawla as the lead actress in Coolie No. 1. At the time, Juhi was busy shooting for Ram Jaane with Shah Rukh Khan and was also committed to several other projects. Due to her packed schedule, the role eventually went to Karisma Kapoor. In the film, Kapoor played her character brilliantly, and Govinda's comedy made it even more successful. You can watch the film Coolie No. 1 for free on YouTube. What was box office collection of Coolie No.1? Coolie No. 1 , which hit theatres on 30 June 1995, was a major hit. Govinda delivered a memorable performance and the film also featured a strong supporting cast, including Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Harish Kumar, Kanchan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, and Tiku Talsania. According to Sacnilk, the film was made on a budget of Rs 3.50 crore and went on to earn Rs 21.15 crore worldwide. If we calculate the inflammation, the box office collection would have been Rs 297 crore.
