Bollywood has been under a lot of scrutiny in the last year, and despite boycott trends leaving star-studded casts and actors trolled left, right and center for roles, there have been several hits at the box office. In fact, the Bollywood music industry wasn’t far behind, either, especially when it came to being criticized for mindlessly remaking old songs into new ones.

This is a list of Pritam songs whose music is clearly “inspired” by existing songs.
