KARACHI: A new Bollywood track has sparked an unexpected debate online, with many pointing out that Danger, from an upcoming film, looks and sounds a lot like Laal Suit, the popular song from Pakistani drama Mannat Murad.
The chatter is less about who did it better and more about whether Bollywood may have once again leaned too heavily on Pakistan’s creative pool.
Meanwhile, Danger, unveiled on 21st August as part of Param Sundari, a Bollywood release headlined by Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor.
The newly released song carries a similar beat, but what really caught people’s attention was the mention of a “red outfit” and the striking similarity in its tune to Laal Suit.
The resemblance has pushed social media into overdrive, with users sharing clips side by side and questioning just how “inspired” Bollywood might have been.
