| Direct lift from Pakistani singer Ali Zafar's 'Channo ki aankhen' from his 2003 album 'Huqa Pani' |

Chhoren ki baatein [Fight Club (2005)] Pritam
Akhiyaan Na Maar, Jal Jal Ke [Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena (2005)]-----------PRITAM
| The first one lifted from Pakistani singer Waris Baig's 2004 track, 'Challa' while the second is a lift from Yuri Mrakadi's 2001 track, 'Arabiyon Ana'. |
| Listen to Akhiyaan na maar | Challa Listen to Jal jal ke | Arabyion Ana |
| Waris Baig's 2004 album, Aaja Nach Lay had the track Challa. Pritam's versions are considerably souped up, and catchier....but of course such things don't take away the fact that its copied! |
Jhoom [Ek Khiladi Ek Hasina (2005)]-----PRITAM
| Lifted from Britney Spears' commercial for Pepsi, 'Joy of Pepsi' (2001, 2002)! |
| Listen to Jhoom | Joy of Pepsi |
| A lift from an Advt.!! Pritam sure is going places! |

| Lifted off Ali Zafar's Rangeen and Faakhir's Marjawan, respectively! |
| Listen to Dillagi | Rangeen Listen to Marjawan (ABA) | Marjawan (Faakhir) |
| Ali Zafar's 'Rangeen' from his 2003 album, 'Huqa Pani' while Faakhir's 'Marjawan' from his 2002 album, 'Aatish'. |
'Dil samundar', 'Chori Chori' & 'Adaa' [Garam Masala (2005)] -------PRITAM
| Lifted off Turkish singer Tarkan's 'Kuzu kuzu' (2001), Dr Zeus/ Balwinder Safri's 'Hai rabba' (2003) and Amr Diab's 'Ana' (1999) |
| Listen to Dil samandar | Kuzu kuzu Listen to Chori Chori (Sukhwinder Singh, Hema Sardesai) | Chori Chori (Labh Jajua) | Hai Rabba Listen to Adaa | Ana |

Considering that he had already lifted Turkish superstar Tarkan in Dhoom, this is a dead give-away! The prelude is the same, while the parts with 'dooba dooba...' are again lifted straight off the 'kuzu kuzu' part in the original. But, strangely enough, the main tune which goes, 'dil samandar' does not seem to be a direct lift! But just one listen to the complete samples below (don't stop mid way!!) would easily prove the inspiration!
With regard to the second lift, what's particularly baffling is the second version of the same song in the soundtrack, sung by none other than Labh Jajua, better known as Punjabi MC. Given the fact both Punjabi MC and folks like Dr Zeus/ Balwinder Safri belong to the same UK Bhangra scene, its rather startling that Punjabi MC chose to be part of an uncredited version of this track. Is Labh so poorly clued in to his own music scene that he didn't know the source of this track or did he simply ignore the source blinded by the greens offered by the music label Venus?
The 3rd lift, of that in 'Adaa' seems more like a strong influence 'cos of the sheer number of things that Pritam has added to his version. But the basic thread is from Amr Diab's track.
