Iconic Tune, Three Films: From Blockbuster 'Mawaali' to 'Dirty Picture's' Ooh La La!

• Bappi Lahiri's "Uyi Amma Uyi Amma" from 1983 blockbuster 'Mawaali' (Jeetendra, Jayaprada, Sridevi) became a sensation, despite Jayaprada's controversial scene.
• Lahiri reused the tune for 1997's 'Do Aankhen Barah Haath' ("Kasam Se Kasam Se"), which starred Govinda but flopped at the box office.
• Vishal-Shekhar created "Ooh La La" for 2011's 'The Dirty Picture', drawing inspiration from the same musical pattern, leading to a copyright dispute.
• 'The Dirty Picture', starring Vidya Balan and based on Silk Smitha's life, was a massive blockbuster, despite the legal challenge.
• The same musical inspiration led to two blockbusters ('Mawaali', 'The Dirty Picture') and one flop ('Do Aankhen Barah Haath'), highlighting varied outcomes.

Why It Matters: A single melodious tune inspired three films, yielding two blockbusters and one flop.
