LAHORE- A video clip of a Bollywood song featuring Amitabh Bachchan has gone viral on social media with Pakistanis saying that they have been deceived their whole life because it seems that PPP’s political song ‘Dilla Teer Bija’ was copied from our neighbors across the border.
Turns out, that Bollywood’s the one who plagiarized Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) anthem and not the other way around.
The PPP anthem,a solid ditty based on a groovy, beat-heavy rendition of Baloch folk music and sung by Shabana Noshi, was released a few years before the Bollywood version. It was composed by Zahoor Khan Zeibi.
The Bollywood version, titled ‘Mai Na Jhoot Bolun’ was released in 1991 by R.D Burman and featured in film Indrajeet. Whereas, the PPP song was released in 1988 and was an instant hit.
Zahoor once said that music was his first love and the Bhutto’s were his second. Perhaps that is why his composed melody gained so much popularity!
