DNA (October 1, 2016)

Listen to the strains of Labon Ka Karobaar from Aditya Chopra’s Befikre. Then listen to Adnan Sami singing Pal Do Pal Pyaar Ka? Notice the similarities? There sure is an uncanny resemblance between the two tunes, right down to the accordion, violin and guitar riffs.

Now, is this just two creative minds, namely Adnan in Pal Do Pal and Vishal-Shekhar who gave done the smooch song in Befikre thinking alike? Or is someone at Yash Raj Films an Adnan Sami fan?

Even earlier in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi the hit track Haule Haule sounded strikingly similar to Adnan’s Kabhi Nahin, the duet that Adnan had done with Amitabh Bachchan.

A source close to Yash Raj says, “Adi does a lot of the music in his films. And the similarities that you refer to may just be traced to him.”
