Dhurandhar Song: 70-Year-Old Qawwali's Uncredited Past & Queen's Bassline

• Ranveer Singh's "Dhurandhar" song "Na toh karwaan ki talaash hain" is an official remake of a qawwali from the 1960 film "Barsat Ki Raat."
• The "Barsat Ki Raat" qawwali was a remake of an original by Mubarak Ali and Fateh Ali Khan, recorded before the 1950s.
• Neither the 1960 film nor "Dhurandhar" credited the original qawwali creators, Mubarak Ali and Fateh Ali Khan.
• The baseline for the "Dhurandhar" track is also inspired by Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust."
• Composer Khayyam initially refused to adapt the qawwali for "Barsat Ki Raat," leading to Roshan taking over the project.

Why It Matters: It exposes uncredited music borrowing, raising questions about artist rights and originality.
