Last week I was very busy...Work pressures...status reports...deadlines...it was all getting on me. My other 'busy' friend and I had to fight out till the end. At the end of the day during the crucial status update meeting Joe said ...
"2195"
hahaha.... I made 2600...I win!!...Now you have to do that online course on 'Effective Time Management' for me...
Now playing "Snake" isn't fun anymore..
Amidst this busy schedule I do browse youtube...Someone had once said that you cannot concentrate on one task for more than 45 minutes at a stretch and a break is always good for better efficiency...And usually after 45 minutes of coffee and chit chat I take the much needed break to browse through youtube...And this resulted in a amazing discovery..THIS...It was a big shock when I understood that this music was blatantly lifted for our famous GUPT GUPT!! jingle... Now I did a search in google for songs plagiarized in bollywood..The results were nonetheless startling..
Listen THIS..and THIS
Listen THIS..and THIS..
Listen THIS(love this one.. ;-P)..dint get a clue..eh.. Listen THIS
And many more like this..well disguised in this..our own khambakht ishq and this super hit..
Thanks to youtube I was able to figure out the original and appreciate the talent of real artists..See this link for complete list of copied/inspired songs...Maybe these music directors might have given us an opportunity to hear these awesome originals in a desi version...but why did they never bother to acknowledge the original artists in the credits...Now in a time when the film industry raise a hue and cry about fake CD's..Theater prints..etc..why don't they first cleanse the rot within ...
P.S Sadly i now see many bloggers doing the same..and never bothering to acknowledge it!!

Gud one!!!
see this link for more inspirations.....
I was surprised to hear some old Hindi numbers, because they were lifted too. I am talking of old Lata numbers. You are so right that the Hindi film industry that has made plagiarism an art cries foul at movie piracy.
I am fed of plagiarism myself. If not blatant lifting of posts, it is re written posts now :(
And usually after 45 minutes of coffee and chit chat I take the much needed break to browse through youtube" LOL!!!
Really sad.how can they copy someone elses work and say it is their own. I have seen so many Hindi remakes of English movies as well.I don't know if they were given the rights.
I knew about almost all of them, but I didn't know about the Krrish and Kaho Na Pyar Hai.. looks like Uncle Roshan can't come up with original stuff at all!
And I knew Kambaqth Ishq was copied, but didn't know it was sooo blatant! I mean, they didn't change anything in the song really!
Unfortunately this has always been the case, which is why I have little respect for Indian music directors.. I know of atleast one tune that even A R Rehman has copied out of an African based song.. so imagine where the other directors stand!
"And usually after 45 minutes of coffee and chit chat I take the much needed break to browse through youtube" Ha Ha... you seem to be very busy person ! ;)
2800 on my old nokia 3310!! of course lots of pausing and continuing but then i've already completed the 'effective time management' course :((
btw thanks..Can Atilla's Sultanlar Askina is an awesome song! i feel like marching after listening to that!
~open-mouthed surprised expression~
it's damn funny reading this blog without going to the links...all it says is "listen this and this...listen this and this".......
and do people copy blogs???? hain??
@Emmanuel
mm..i don’t think it will ever end..:-(
@Anjali
Oh..yeah..there are legendary music directors who have done it as well..but far and few compared to some contemporary ones..talking of blogs I don’t have to tell a serial victim about it.. ;-P
@Starry nights
But surprisingly some of the indianised versions sound better than the originals..
@Ruchika
Imagine my surprise when I was all the time under the impression that these were originals..yeah A R rahaman did that.?? Unbelievable.. :-O
@Cuckoo
