Bollywood under fire for copying “Bol Kaffara” song from Pakistani drama

Bol Kaffara is a beloved Pakistani song that captured millions of hearts. Originally a qawwali featured as the OST for the drama Parlour Wali Larki, it became an instant sensation despite the drama itself not gaining much attention. Over the years, the song’s popularity has only grown—so much so that it has even become a favorite across the border in India, where it seems they just can’t stop recreating it.

Here is the original OST Bol Kaffara:

Bol Kaffara was first copied by Jubin Nautiyal, who remade the song without giving proper credit. His version became quite popular, and now Neha Kakkar has sung the song again for the film Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat.

The funniest part is that the movie stars Harshvardhan Rane, who was previously seen with Mawra Hocane in Sanam Teri Kasam. Not long ago, he was criticizing Mawra and Pakistan after the Indo-Pak stand-off, and now he’s acting in a movie that features a song originally from Pakistan. The film’s other lead is Sonam Bajwa, who is performing on this recreated version of Bol Kaffara.

Here is another stolen version of Bol Kaffara:

The internet is having a field day with this. One user said, “You misbehave with Pakistan but keep stealing their songs.” Another joked, “Sonam Bajwa is singing this from the Indian Air Force to the Pakistan Air Force.” Someone else added, “Bollywood can only copy.” These comments show how hilariously people are reacting online.
