The newly released song ‘Mashooqa’ from Cocktail 2 has quickly become one of the most talked-about tracks online. Featuring the sizzling on-screen chemistry of Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, the romantic and upbeat number is receiving massive attention across social media platforms. However, alongside the praise, the song has now landed in controversy after internet users alleged that its music resembles a 1993 Italian track.
‘Mashooqa’ Creates Buzz Online
Ever since the makers released the song, fans have been praising the glamorous visuals, catchy beats, and the fresh pairing of Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. The romantic vibe and stylish presentation of the track have helped it trend rapidly online.
The song has especially gained traction among Bollywood music lovers, with many users calling it a “perfect party-romance anthem.” The chemistry between the lead actors has become one of the major highlights of the track.
Reddit Users Compare ‘Mashooqa’ to Italian Song
The controversy began after a Reddit user shared side-by-side clips comparing ‘Mashooqa’ with the 1993 Italian song ‘Se So Arrubate A Nonna’. According to several internet users, the tunes of both songs sound strikingly similar.
The comparison post quickly went viral, triggering heated debates online. Many users accused Bollywood music composers of once again taking inspiration from international tracks.
One user commented, “It’s still a dull song even after copying.” Another wrote, “Bollywood copying again?” while several others pointed out that the melody sounded “almost identical.”
Some users also took humorous digs at music composer Pritam, with one comment reading, “Pritam can’t stop copying lol.”
No Official Response Yet
So far, neither the makers of Cocktail 2 nor composer Pritam have responded to the allegations surrounding the song. Despite the controversy, the track continues to gain views and engagement online.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Bollywood songs have faced plagiarism accusations. Over the years, several popular tracks have sparked debates over similarities with international music.
Fans Continue Supporting ‘Mashooqa’
Despite the online criticism, a large section of fans continues to support the song. Many listeners believe that similarities in tunes are common in the music industry and that the overall presentation of the track matters more.
With Cocktail 2 already generating excitement among movie lovers, the controversy around ‘Mashooqa’ has only added more buzz to the film’s promotion.
