I was glued to the idiot box this evening and while channel hopping i came across VH1 airing the video of the very popular Daniel Powter song “Bad Day”. I’ve been listening to this song for quite some time now, in fact almost since 2005 when it was released and went on to top a few charts. But i confess to having watched the music video for the first time this evening on TV (don’t know how i missed it for so long!).
Now, i guess many of us remember this Ustad Sultan Khan and Shreya Ghoshal song going by the name “Leja Leja Re” which was released around the same time in 2005. I won’t say i really liked the song or not, but at least the music video stays in my memory mostly because every single TV channel used to air it at least a couple of 100 times a day, and it looked pretty decent once i muted the volume!
Now watch the two videos and decide for yourself - which is a copy of which. Its kind of funny actually, but “which video was released first?” The similarities are way too obvious to be cast aside as mere co-incidence! Going by the “reputation” of Indian producers, I guess the Daniel Powter video came out first. And if it actually did, the producer of the Indian version must have absolutely loved it and wasted no time in “being inspired” by it.
Decide for yourself people…
