Questions arise regarding the potential copying of Mannat Murad's successful track "Laal Suit" in the creation of the Bollywood song "Danger."

In the world of music, Pakistan's tunes have been resonating with listeners everywhere, from traditional ghazals to contemporary pop. However, a recent release from Bollywood has sparked controversy, as it bears a striking resemblance to a popular Pakistani song.

The song in question is "Danger" from the upcoming Bollywood film Param Sundari, unveiled on August 21, 2022, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. The mention of a "red outfit" in "Danger" and the striking similarity in its tune to "Laal Suit" from the Pakistani drama Mannat Murad, which stars Iqra Aziz and Talha Chahour, has set social media abuzz.

"Laal Suit" is celebrated as one of the highlights of Mannat Murad, known for its upbeat melody and vibrant, cute vibe. On the other hand, "Danger" is composed by Sachin-Jigar, a duo primarily known for their work in the Indian music industry. They have not been known to have any prior work in the Pakistani music industry.

Social media users have been sharing clips of "Danger" and "Laal Suit" side by side, questioning the inspiration behind "Danger". Abrar ul Haq, the composer of "Laal Suit", openly criticized the copying of his song in the Bollywood film JugJugg Jeeyo, which also features a similar sounding track.

The debate online is less about who did it better and more about whether Bollywood may have once again leaned too heavily on Pakistan's creative pool. Over the years, several Pakistani hits have been found in Indian films in tweaked versions, sparking criticism and laughter online.

Pakistan's music, beyond just "Coke Studio Pakistan", has produced numerous hit drama OSTs that became household tunes. Shilpa Rao, an Indian singer, has praised "Coke Studio Pakistan" as Pakistan's "main thing". The debate over the similarity between "Danger" and "Laal Suit" highlights Pakistan's creativity in music.

The controversy surrounding "Danger" comes at a time when Bollywood has been struggling to recreate the kind of strong, lasting music it was once famous for. Between 2000 and 2020, Bollywood has not been able to recreate the kind of strong, lasting music it was once famous for. Pakistani music, on the other hand, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

As the debate continues, it serves as a reminder of the rich and diverse musical talent that exists in Pakistan, and the need for greater respect and recognition for the country's music industry.
