Is Cocktail 2 Song ‘Mashooka’ Really Copied or Just a Coincidence ?

The upcoming romantic film “Cocktail 2” starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna is already creating strong buzz ahead of its June 19 theatrical release. As part of promotions, the team has been actively sharing updates, with the recently released romantic track “Mashooka” sparking unexpected controversy online. Social media users claimed that the tune resembles a 1993 Italian comedy song, leading to widespread debate and trolling.

Music director Pritam Chakraborty has now responded to the allegations, strongly denying any claims of copying. Through an Instagram post, he stated that with every new release, self-proclaimed “music detectives” try to find imaginary similarities and create unnecessary controversies. He added that such comparisons are purely speculative and urged people to stop spreading false narratives. Following his clarification, the controversy appears to be settling down online.
