Singer Raghav Chaitanya has defended composer Pritam Chakraborty amidst accusations of plagiarism surrounding the song “Mashooqa” from “Cocktail 2.” Chaitanya expressed that the claims against Pritam are unfounded and stated that “Mashooqa” is an original creation. He emphasized that similarities in music are common and do not equate to plagiarism.
Chaitanya highlighted that the composition, arrangement, and emotion of “Mashooqa” are unique and not inspired by any other track. He urged listeners to judge the song in its entirety rather than forming opinions based on short clips or online comparisons. The movie “Cocktail 2,” directed by Homi Adajania, is scheduled to hit theaters on June 19, serving as a follow-up to the 2012 film “Cocktail.”
