Controversy
Amit Trivedi has been accused of plagiarizing music more than once. He was accused of copying the background score for Lootera from 's "We Had Today" track from One Day's (2011) original soundtrack. Despite evidence that a section of the musical score was lifted from Portman's composition, Trivedi, as well as Lootera's director/producer Vikramaditya Motwane and producer Anurag Kashyap, defended the similarities as mere coincidence. In 2015, he was accused again for his composition of the ballad "Nazdeekiyan" for Dharma Productions' Shandaar (2015), which was similar to popular alternative-rock band 's "Oceans" from their sixth studio album Ghost Stories (2014).
