Plagarism.

Don't know whether the word should be plagarism, or inspiration, but surely Annie's song by John Denver came first and Javed Akhtar's 'Ek ladki ko dekha' came afterwards?
How come no one's noticed the thread of similarity and the echo of thoughts and the reverberation of concept in Javedsaab's song. Doesn't it bear an uncanny resemblance to Denver's classic?

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rainLike a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue oceanYou fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga
Jaise Khilta Gulaab
Jaise Shaayar Ka Khwaab
Jaise Ujli Kiran
Jaise Van Mein Hiran
Jaise Chaandni Raat
Jaise Naghme Ki Baat
Jaise Mandir Mein Ho Ek Jalta DiyaHo
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga

Like-like? No?
