Almost a year after it became a hit, people are talking about Raanjhan, the song from Kriti Sanon and Kajol’s Do Patti (2024), all over again. But this time, composer duo Sachet-Parampara’s creation has hit headlines for plagiarism. Earlier this week, international music producer KMKZ posted a video on Instagram, noting that the piano loop and chord progression in Raanjhan matched his creation that he had uploaded two years ago. He went on to reveal that he had mailed music label T-Series and Sachet-Parampara regarding the plagiarism, but didn’t receive a reply. “I have not been credited or paid,” said KMKZ, adding that he has now taken the legal route to ensure that he gets his due in terms of credit and compensation.

This is the second plagiarism allegation against Do Patti’s album. In 2024, Kolkata music producer Rajarshi Mitter alleged that the track, Maiyya, was lifted from his composition and sent a legal notice to the makers.
