Amit Mishra dismisses ‘Bulleya’ plagiarism claims
Composed by Pritam, ‘Bulleya’ the second song released from the ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ soundtrack was put under scrutiny for alleged plagiarism.
Reported in Mid-day, listeners found similarities between the��’Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ rock number and the popular American band Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’. Although the ‘Bulleya singer Amit Mishra, dismissed the claims.
“So far, I have only heard good things about the song. Music lovers have lauded it. I find the plagiarism allegations absurd. People who feel the number is plagiarised should listen to both tracks again; the distinction is clear. It’s like calling a rock song a copy of another rock song just because they use the same set of instruments,” said Mishra.
Mishra has previously worked with Pritam, with�� ‘Dilwale’ (2015) – ��’Manma Emotion Jaage’ and ‘Dishoom’ (2015) – ��’Sau Tarah Ke’. Mishra feels fortunate to have been able to work with him,��”It’s any young singer’s dream, and I am living it so early in my career. Pritam da’s numbers have brought me fame and recognition,” Mishra added.
