A heated debate has erupted on social media between Bollywood and K-pop fans. Bollywood fans claim that Blackpink’s singer Jennie Kim’s upcoming song sounds similar to the theme song of Alia Bhatt’s character, Rani, from the movie Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
Fans Spot Similarities in Songs
The controversy began when listeners noticed similarities between Alia Bhatt’s intro song from the 2023 Bollywood film and Jennie’s new track. Bollywood music composer Pritam created the music for the film, and now, fans are questioning whether Jennie’s song was inspired by it.
On Reddit, a group of users is discussing whether the Rani theme song is original or copied. Social media platforms are now filled with comparisons between the two tracks, sparking a heated argument among fans.
Social Media Reactions
One social media user wrote, “I never expected to see Alia and Jennie being compared.” Another commented, “Jennie’s new song reminds me of Alia Bhatt’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani intro song! How are my fellow Indians taking this?”
While Alia’s fans accuse Jennie of copying the song, K-pop fans are pushing back, claiming Bollywood often takes inspiration from international music. One comment read, “Both fanbases are being silly. Bollywood has copied foreign films and music for years—why is this even a debate?”
No Official Response Yet
So far, Pritam has not responded to the controversy. Meanwhile, Jennie is set to release her highly anticipated solo album on March 7. Fans from both sides continue to debate the issue on social media.
