The snippet became the center of plagiarism allegations and a heated debate online. Netizens thought it sounded very similar to the track “Rani’s Intro Theme” from the Bollywood movie Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring famous actress Alia Bhatt. Netizens noticed the similarities in the melody of the song and shared their thoughts online.

Following the allegations, there was toxic behavior towards Alia Bhatt in terms of her visuals and alleged influence compared to Jennie. Fans of the actress also retaliated with comments about visuals.

Netizens then responded to the criticism and allegations. While some explained they didn’t see any similarities, others hated how fandoms pitted two successful women against each other in an industry known for being harsh to women.
Why do y'all love pitting pretty and successful women against e/o? Blonks are being racist towards Alia and Ratmies are spreading bs abt Jennie before even knowing what the full song sounds like (even rn the songs don't sound similar)
Pretty women can never catch a break😮💨 https://t.co/dh9RhePeOB— BaeSurePinkTeen (@HomeMadeCookin6) March 4, 2025
This movie is abt female empowerment & in this song "Rani" is being repeated (which is the character's name but it also means QUEEN) then how can ratmies use this song to hate Jennie?
Most of Jennie's songs are abt female empowerment so how can blonks hate Alia?
Hypocrite much? https://t.co/dh9RhePeOB— BaeSurePinkTeen (@HomeMadeCookin6) March 4, 2025
Suddenly, everyone in the quotes is against Jennie. Yesterday, it was about Lisa; today, it's about Jennie. The most jobless fandom, for real. Stop dragging two beautiful women into your mess.
