=== Music === The Pakistani [[Qawwali]] musician [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]] had a big impact on Hindi film music, inspiring numerous Indian musicians working in Bollywood, especially during the 1990s. However, there were many instances of Indian music directors plagiarising Khan's music to produce hit [[filmi]] songs.<ref name="nusrat">{{Cite web |first1=Amit|last1=Baruah|first2=R.|last2=Padmanabhan |date=6 September 1997 |title=The stilled voice |url=https://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1418/14181230.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011230173145/https://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1418/14181230.htm |archive-date=30 December 2001 |website=[[The Hindu]], [[Frontline (U.S. TV series)|Frontline]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Chaudhuri |first=Diptakirti |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_e9LDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT93 |title=Bioscope: A Frivolous History of Bollywood in Ten Chapters |date=2018 |publisher=[[Hachette (publisher)|Hachette]] |isbn=9789351952299 |page=93}}</ref> Several popular examples include [[Viju Shah]]'s hit song "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast" in ''[[Mohra]]'' (1994) being plagiarised from Khan's popular Qawwali song "[[Dam Mast Qalandar]]",<ref name="nusrat" /> "Mera Piya Ghar Aya" used in ''[[Yaraana (1995 film)|Yaarana]]'' (1995), and "Sanoo Ek Pal Chain Na Aaye" in ''[[Judaai (1997 film)|Judaai]]'' (1997).<ref name="nusrat" /> Despite the significant number of hit Bollywood songs plagiarised from his music, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was reportedly tolerant towards the plagiarism.<ref name="Chaudhuri" /><ref name="rediff-khan">{{Cite news |year=1997 |title=A rare encounter with Ustad Nusrat Ali Khan |work=[[Rediff]] |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/apr/05nusrat.htm |access-date=23 December 2018}}</ref> One of the Bollywood music directors who frequently plagiarised him, [[Anu Malik]], claimed that he loved Khan's music and was actually showing admiration by using his tunes.<ref name="rediff-khan" /> However, Khan was reportedly aggrieved when Malik turned his spiritual "Allah Hoo, Allah Hoo" into "I Love You, I Love You" in ''[[Auzaar]]'' (1997).<ref name="Chaudhuri" /> Khan said "he has taken my devotional song ''Allahu'' and converted it into ''I love you''.

His song, "Tama", inspired two [[Bollywood songs]]: [[Bappi Lahiri]]'s "Tamma Tamma" in ''[[Thanedaar]]'' (1990) and "Jumma Chumma" in [[Laxmikant–Pyarelal]]'s soundtrack for ''[[Hum (film)|Hum]]'' (1991). The latter also featured "Ek Doosre Se", which copied Kanté's "Inch Allah".<ref name="Srinivasan">{{Cite web |last=Srinivasan |first=Karthik |date=16 October 2018 |title=How Guinean Singer Mory Kanté's Music Was Lifted To Create 'Tamma Tamma Loge' and 'Jumma Chumma De De' |url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/music/how-guinean-singer-mory-kantes-music-was-lifted-to-create-tamma-tamma-loge-and-jumma-chumma-de-de/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606090031/https://www.filmcompanion.in/music/how-guinean-singer-mory-kantes-music-was-lifted-to-create-tamma-tamma-loge-and-jumma-chumma-de-de/ |archive-date=6 June 2020 |access-date=16 October 2018 |website=[[Film Companion]]}}</ref> His song "[[Yé ké yé ké]]" was used as background music in the 1990 Bollywood film ''[[Agneepath (1990 film)|Agneepath]]'', inspired the [[Music of Bollywood|Bollywood song]] "Tamma Tamma" in ''Thanedaar''.<ref name="Srinivasan" />
