Another Pakistani song ‘Biba’ is copied by Bollywood

• Bollywood will continue to appropriate Pakistani classics.
• T-Series was called out by Farasat Anees for stealing his song “BIBA.”
• Anees posted a video on Instagram that includes clips from both songs.

Undoubtedly, Bollywood will continue to appropriate Pakistani classics. T-Series, the music giant of B-Town, is here to ruin yet another Lollywood musical score after distorting Nach Punjaban, Disco Deewane, and numerous other songs. The Indian music company was recently called out by Pakistani singer Farasat Anees for stealing his song “BIBA,” which was used in the Pakistani Oscar-nominated movie Joyland. Anees claimed to have fans in Pakistan and India in an interview with a local media outlet called Images. Anees has sent emails to the record company but hasn’t gotten a response, which irritates him.

Anees posted a video on Instagram that includes clips from both songs and asks viewers to comment on whether they think the song has been stolen.

“What a disgrace! T-Series [is] stealing our work because it has been trending in the world. Me and my brothers, Toshi and Slick Trick, worked day and night to bring this song where it is. PLEASE HAVE SOME SHAME and stop ruining every good song from Pakistan,” he captioned the post.

Anees further wrote, “The love and respect Indians showed to our version of ‘BIBA’ was massive. We will always be grateful for that. [They are] also supporting us in the comment section of this cheap copy of ‘BIBA’. Will always be thankful to listeners across the border!”
