New Delhi: In the age of social media, spotting similarities between a new song and an older melody has become easier than ever. A similar discussion has emerged around singer Shreya Ghoshal’s latest song, Jhumka Patola. Soon after its release, the track began drawing comparisons with O Sonia O Mahiya, a romantic song sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan around 22 years ago. Interestingly, both songs are associated with music composer Himesh Reshammiya.
Shreya Ghoshal’s ‘Jhumka Patola’ Sparks Comparisons With an Old Romantic Song
Jhumka Patola, from Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming family entertainer Yeh Prem Mol Liya, has been attracting attention on YouTube. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh in the lead roles. Featuring Shreya Ghoshal’s vocals, the song has received a positive response from listeners.
However, following its release, some social media users began comparing its tune and melody with an older romantic track. Several online reactions suggest that Jhumka Patola reminds them of O Sonia O Mahiya. These comparisons have also brought Himesh Reshammiya into the conversation.
What Is the Connection With ‘O Sonia O Mahiya’?
The older song being compared with Jhumka Patola is O Sonia O Mahiya, a romantic track from the 2004 film Ishq Hai Tumse. The movie featured Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea in the lead roles. The song was sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik.
Himesh Reshammiya composed the music for O Sonia O Mahiya, while Sameer Anjaan wrote its lyrics. Since Reshammiya is also associated with the new song, the perceived similarities between the two tracks have attracted additional attention.
However, comparisons made by social media users do not, by themselves, establish that a new song has been copied from an older one. So far, the discussion centres on listeners’ opinions about the similarities between the melodies.
What Are Listeners Saying About the Melody?
Several users have shared their views about Jhumka Patola in the YouTube comments section. While some have described its melody as similar to O Sonia O Mahiya, others have said that the new track brought back memories of the older romantic song.
One user referred to the opening lines of the older track, explaining that listening to Jhumka Patola reminded them of O Sonia O Mahiya. Another commented that the new song might have sounded even better with Udit Narayan’s voice.
These reactions suggest that the new release has revived nostalgic memories among music lovers. The comparisons have also sparked conversations about familiar melodies and the influence of older romantic songs on contemporary music.
It remains to be seen whether Jhumka Patola will establish a distinct identity among listeners or whether comparisons with the older track will continue in the coming days.
Note: The claims about similarities between the two songs are based on reactions circulating on social media. Without official confirmation or a detailed musical assessment, it would be premature to conclude that Jhumka Patola is a copy of O Sonia O Mahiya.
