PPL like you come to conclusions and scolding ppl without knowing anything.. if u can prove then say anything
As far as I know, the copyrights of Sawanka melody was bought by Bathiya and Santhush. So no other Sri Lankan owns those rights. Mata Aloke is a copy cat to a such a degree, that even lyrics from the sinhala adoptatio of the song is used.
Before posting Lich, remember that there are peole older than you who can remember the past well. Listen to this original song by Jikki (Krishna Veni) before commenting further.
Mata aloke (original version)
And in the Players Lounge, "Pardeshi Pardeshi Jaana Nahi" part comes from the film "Raja hindusthani". If Iraj has bought the rights then it a copycal, if he has not bought it then it's stolen.
The best example of buying rights is the song "Pretty woman" in Kal Ho Na Ho. Still it's a copycat, but it's not stolen.
