Rap star Baba Sehgal has criticised Bollywood for its trend of recreating and remixing old popular songs, calling the Hindi film industry "Copywood". The recording artiste questioned the intent behind harking back to classic songs, adding the job done by the current crop of music composers was "pathetic".

"It's time Bollywood stop recreating/ remixing old classic film soundtracks. There's no harm in creating a song but the quality, instrumentation and the output in doing so is sad and pathetic. Is it because there is no creativity left or is it because they want to encash on super popularity of the old song?" asked Sehgal in a statement on Twitter on Sunday.
