Same tune used in other Songs
Its very common in Bollywood that we copy a song from west or other country and use in our films..Nowadays we call it Inspiration.But there are many melodies which were composed by our Composers earlier and being taken as it is or a slight modification is adopted in later films.
I discovered few songs with pretty much the same tune, spread over more than half a century.The first tune composed by S D Burman for the song "Thandi Hawayein Lehra Ke Aayein" for film "Naujawan" in the year 1951.This Lata song a great hit among her immortal songs with the same tune or slight modification was tried in at least five songs in later films.one of them was �Rahen Na Rahen Hum� almost after 12 years in film "Mamta" released in the 1966.
