Since the time MCU released the trailer of their latest big project, “Eternals,” it has been a source of non-stop questioning. Since the moment of release, the trailer created buzz worldwide and had 3million views within a day. While the latest MCU releases have got fans hooked onto every bit and piece of information shared by the studios, be it trailer or teaser, every bit and piece of this has been subject to fandom scrutiny.

And here’s what Indians think about the latest trailer of the Eternals.

Fantastic! Isn’t it? The trailer? Now play it again from the 38th second. Played? Now play the below video from the start.

Uncanny, isn’t it? While the first is a more somber tune, the second is a happier one. But there is no denying the fact that both are absolutely the same. Plagiarism by MCU from Indian content or just a bad coincidence? Indian fans are awaiting a statement from MCU.

Indian Writer Varun Grover brought this up. He tweeted, “The hook riff from ‘Pehla pehla Pyaar hai’ reworked as the theme music for Marvel’s ETERNALS?” The tune in question is from a Blockbuster Indian movie from the ’90s, Hum Aapke Hain Koun. While people could not get it out of their heads once they got it, more and more people tweeted about it, and now it’s spreading like wildfire.
