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.
Thandi Hawayein Lehra Ke Aayein

Same tune tried in this song Tera Dil Kahan Hai for film �Chandni Chowk� released in 1954 music by Roshan

Rahen Na Rahen Hum Roshan himself used the same old composition again in another hit song after almost 12 years in film "Mamta" released in the 1966.

After 2 years R D Burman again adapted some of the similar notes for his song in film �Saagar� released in 1985. for the song �Saagar Kinare Dil Ye Pukare�

Few months back I posted a blog on the songs in which Piano being played by the hero or heroine in the song.In this blog I have selected those songs where Hero or Heroine playing String Instrument like Guitar, Sitar or Mandolin.There was a song in Uran Khatola (1955) "Hamare Dil Se Na Jana"here Nimmi is playing a string instrument HARP which was new to Indian public.Before that Acoustic Guitar was introduced in 1952 hit film Baazi in the famous song" Tadbeer se bidgi hui taqdeer bana le ".I would also like to mention another Indian String Instrument of Rajasthan the Ravanhattha,This was first seen in a hindi film Do Aankhen Baarah Haath, 1957 in the song Saiyyaan jhoothon ka bada sartaaj niklaa.. Here are few songs on unusual and exotic string instruments.
Guitar- The curious thing about guitar in the Hindi movies is that the guitar is a fashion statement; the hero or the heroine swings it any which way � across the shoulder, left and right like a man gone berserk with his carbine, or even to rotate it around on the floor.One Music Director who really mastered the acoustic guitar in his songs was Sachin Dev Burman. As soon as you think of the acoustic guitar on the Indian scene, you think of Goa and that�s where Guru Dutt�s 1952 movie Jaal

Song from Jaal 1952

Song from Baazi 1952

After the success of 1952 movie Jaal�s guitar based song Ye raat ye chandini phir kahan, Sahir Ludhianvi, SD Burman and Hemant Kumar did it again, in another Dev Anand movie, the 1955 film Munimji in which Dev Anand acted with Nalini Jaywant and Pran.
