AR Rahman won Oscar for Jai Ho. Google "Ella pugazhum oruvan oruvanukke" from Tamil movie azhagiya tamizh magan. So can we charge ARR with plagiarism? Both are his own creations. The main BGM of slumdog millionaire was originally used in Swades, both the films were scored by ARR only. Cheeni kum title song was originally a tamil film song. Ilaiyaraja scored music for both the films.
The list is endless.

Yes, the IPK1 bgm didnt settle well with me, not because I was reminded of IPK1 but because even then I never liked the bgm. When Arnav says welcome to hell Chandni, and badtameezi I was busy admiring how convincingly Barun mouthed those dialogues as Advay and not Arnav.
Yes, I was reminded of IPK1, it is impossible to not remember IPK1 if you have ardently rewatched the episodes N number of times. There is a fine line between being a fan and a fanatic. I choose to remain an IPK1 fan which will allow me to accept and appreciate the existence of others (read Shivani Tomar)
