Superhit Bollywood song tunes 'inspiration'

Bollywood is known to produce the maximum number of movies in the world in a year. And though the number is impressive, you will definitely find at least 15 to 20% of these movies being 'inspired' by Hollywood and other nationality's stories and scripts. If you watch carefully, there are also some very obvious screen to screen copying of the movies. Whether utter obsession of conveying the story and message of a famous international movie to the Indian masses, who might have not seen the movies, or sheer lack of creativity and originality, this trend of plagiarizing is not limited just to the story line but also the song and dance numbers that Bollywood is so famous for.

But hey who's complaining, whether inspired or blatantly copied, the songs are entertaining, foot-tapping and lets admit it, is more catchy and better-sounding than the originals. Following is a list of the less known Original Songs around the world from which our very famous Superhit Bollywood songs have been 'inspired'.
