When movie titles were in song

Seems like originality has gone out of the window. Just take a look at the music scene in the Hindi film industry and you will see, or in this case, hear old songs recycled and re-packaged over and over again.

Now, it's the turn of the movie titles. Quite a few movies are named after old songs like Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, Ek Hasina Thi, Chasme Badoor or Aamir Khan's [Images] underproduction movie, Tare Zameen Pe.

This week's release, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, is also taken from a famous qawwali, Jhoom barabar jhoom sharabi, sung by Aziz Nazan.

There are many more titles out there and here's a chance to test your mental prowess. We have listed some movie titles inspired from old songs. See if you can guess where they came from. Good luck!
