The tune of this song may have been inspired by the opening notes of the song "Sam" (1976) by the British-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John.[1]
The composition of this song was plagiarised by A.T. Ummer for the Malayalam film song "Raagendu Kiranangal" ("Avalude Raavukal", 1978) sung by S. Janaki. "Avalude Raavukal" (1978) was remade in Hindi as "Patita" (1980).[2][3]
