There was a 1973 Film "Aa Gale Lag Ja" song (music by RDB) that had lines "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na... Maane Tu Ya Maane Na..." at the end of the mukhda. There is Kishore version, and a kid version. Father and son singing it for each other, I guess. Aamir might have chosen title of his film from that song and that is quite OK, I think. The songs were good, popular, soulful, stirring. The songs are available to listen at: http://www.apunkabollywood.net/browser/category/view/1150/aa-gale-lag-jaa-(1973) Check first one "Tera Mujhse (male)" and the 5th one "Tera Mujhse (duet)" There is no similarity between these two and ARR's two songs. I don't know why this controversy started at all. -- Rawat
