Who Copied Whom?

It was while listening to a popular song sung by H.R. Jothipala in Youtube that I came across the first comment in the video, which stated that the song has been borrowed from a Bollywood film named 'Star', however once I saw the other video I realized that there was something familiar in the latter as well. This song had some touch of a Modern South East Asian (Japanese/Korean) Music.

Nevertheless the sound track of this film was popular in India as well as H.R Jothipala's song was popular in Sri Lanka, This was when I recalled the famous phrase by Pablo Picasso  (and Steve Jobs)"Good Artists Copy Great Artists Steal".

Here is the Sinhala Song sung by H.R Jothipala (This song did appear in a Sinhala film).




Here is the Hindi Song 'Zindagi' from the Bollywood Movie 'Star'
