Since the trailer of 7 Khoon Maaf came out yesterday, we have been playing it in loop. All for Darrling – the killer combo of Rekha Bhardwaj and Usha Uthup’s voice. The song is composed by Vishal Bhardwaj and it seems there is more to the Darrling story.
It might be little too early to predict anything because we haven’t heard the full song yet. But from whatever is there in the promo, it sounds similar to a popular Russian song called Kalinka. And since there is a Russian actor (Alexander Dyachenko) in the film too, its easy to connect the dots. Or may be its part of the narrative and comes along with the character (Vronsky – Oh yes! Its a Russian name) he plays. The visuals in the trailer also suggests the same.
Click on the play button to hear Kalinka…from 4:00 onwards its almost the same tune.
And here is the 7 Khoon Maaf tariler…

Also, if its in public domain (folk songs) and has been reproduced many times in different versions, then there is no issue in using the tune. But if the case is different, then it might be plagiarism. According to wikipedia, it was composed in 1860, and so most probably its in public domain and can be used. Or may be they have taken the rights. We are desperately waiting for the full song and the story behind it.
