It represents a distinct subgenre of [[filmi|film music]], although it usually bears little resemblance to traditional qawwali, which is the devotional music of the [[Sufi]]s. One example of filmi qawwali is the song [[Parda Hai Parda (song)|Pardah Hai Pardah]] sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]], and composed by [[Laxmikant–Pyarelal]] in Indian film [[Amar Akbar Anthony]] (1977).<ref>[http://www.hindigeetmala.net/song/shabaab_pe_main_pardaa_hai.htm Filmi qawwali song on hindigeetmala.net website] Retrieved 19 May 2018</ref> Another example of filmi qawwali is the song "Qurbani Qurbani Qurbani" rendered by [[Kishore Kumar]], [[Anwar (singer)|Anwar]] and Aziz Nazan and composed by [[Kalyanji-Anandji]] for the Indian film [[Qurbani (1980 film)|Qurbani]](1980).<ref>"39 Years of Qurbani (20/06/1980).

Within the subgenre of filmi qawwali, there exists a form of qawwali that is infused with modern and [[Western culture|Western]] instruments, usually with [[techno]] beats, called ''techno-qawwali''. An example of techno-qawwali is [[Kajra Re]], a filmi song composed by [[Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy]]. A newer variation of the techno-qawwali based on the more dance oriented tracks is known as the "club qawwali". More tracks of this nature are being recorded and released.
[[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]] and [[A.R. Rahman]] have composed filmi qawwalis in the style of traditional qawwali. Examples include Arziyan (''[[Delhi 6]]''), Khwaja Mere Khwaja (''[[Jodhaa Akbar]]'')<ref>[http://www.hindigeetmala.net/song/khwaja_mere_khwaja_dil_mein.htm Filmi qawwali from film Jodha Akbar (2008) on hindigeetmala.net website] Retrieved 19 May 2018</ref> and Kun Faya Kun (''[[Rockstar (2011 film)|Rockstar]]'').
Examples in the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] [[Cinema of West Bengal|Tollywood]] cinema include the song Remix Qawwali (''[[Bindaas (2014 film)|Bindaas]]'') sung by [[Neha Kakkar]] and [[Nakash Aziz]].<ref>[http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/screen/nakash-azizs-remix-qawwali-in-a-bengali-film-bindaas/ Nakash Aziz's remix qawwali] Retrieved 29 May 2018</ref> In addition to this, the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] [[Dhallywood]] cinema also includes qawwalis such as the song Tikatuli (''[[Dhaka Attack]]'') sung by Motin Chowdhury.<ref>[https://bangla.bdnews24.com/glitz/article1409689.bdnews অনলাইনে মুক্ত ‘ঢাকা অ্যাটাক’-এর আইটেম গান ‘টিকাটুলি’] Retrieved 28 April 2019</ref>

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music had a big impact on [[Bollywood music]], inspiring numerous Indian musicians working in [[Bollywood]], especially during the 1990s. For example, he inspired [[A. R. Rahman]] and [[Javed Akhtar]], both of whom he collaborated with. However, there were many instances of Indian [[music director]]s plagiarising Khan's music to produce hit [[filmi]] songs.<ref name="hindu">{{cite web |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1418/14181230.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011230173145/http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1418/14181230.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-date=30 December 2001 |title=The stilled voice |author=Amit Baruah, R.
