In Hindi films, until recently, people just played foreign records, or based songs on their tunes. I did not see any permission info in the titles.

It is also rare to display permission for using old Indian songs. In Poorab aur Pashchim (1970), I saw this.

A two-person RMIMeet was held in East Lansing on June 28, 2023. It was attended by Pradeep Asrani and Surjit Singh. Of course, many Hindi film and song discussions took place. Among other things, I recalled how Gurcharan Singh Sandhu of UK spent months in 1996, helping with the second edition of the well-known Hindi Film Geet Kosh by traveling to Kanpur at his own expense and staying with Har Mandir Singh 'Hamraaz'. Pradeep recalled how he requested a complete list of films available with the famous MM Video and obtained all the one he did not have :) [I am happy to report that Pradeep has shared a lot of them with me to help with the Song Section of the Hindi Film Database, on the song picturization work of Volume 1961-1970, which is now in full swing, and about which I am happy to report that I just finished Mera Bhai Mera Dushman (1967).]

Guess Who!
