Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Is ‘Challa’ song inspired from ‘Save Tonight’?

Although world renowned musician and singer AR Rahman is known for his original composition, but this time his originality is under a cloud.Swedish musician Eagle-Eye Cherry’s popular song, ‘Save Tonight‘ from his album ‘Desireless’ is identical to Rahman’s ‘Challa‘ song from his latest movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan, especially the opening notes of guitar.
