When "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.." title was announced, I realized that indeed film-makers are running short of movie titles. And who's to blame them! Each year, there are apparently over 400 Hindi films. Sometimes film titles are repeated, but with the advent of social media, this causes confusion. You don't stand out as upon search of your film title, the older one also shows up.
So the film-makers have started "plagiarizing" popular songs. "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" and "Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan" are film titles from the same popular film song from the 1950's (YouTube Link) - albeit Mumbai was known as Bombay back then.
Next I bet they'll go after stand-out dialogues from popular hits of the past.
With these I wonder if royalty is provided to those original creators of these lines..Food for Thought!
