Bollycat!

This is the movie setting for an 1957 classic "An affair to remember" A cruise, a casanova, a charming heroine. Both are already engaged but they are embarking on this journey alone. Sounds a lot familiar to the hindi movie "Mann". And a google search proved the fact too..Meanwhile I came across this term "bollycat" used to denote this usual practice of shameless plagiarism by bollywood. The urban dictionary defines it as: "An Indian Bollywood movies that has either been directly copied from a Hollywood movie or is heavily inspired by one."
Is there a corresponding term for music copying too?
