According to reports, Bhardwaj’s composition was actually inspired by the Russian Red Army choir’s “Kalinka”, written in 1860 by composer and folklorist Ivan Larionov. It was first performed in Saratov as part of a theatrical event.
Therefore, it is evident from verified sources that the folk song was not copied from 7 Khoon Maaf’s Darling.
