By the by, RD Burman was named Chor D Burman in Usenet RMIM newsgroups for his countless lifts

I hasten to add that there was one song which is quite similar to

Oru vaanavil polay ( kaatrinilay varum geetham ) of IR

and Kabi kabi mere dhil may ( Kabi kabi )

I am not sure but it resembles.

I am a diehard fan of IR but I am compelled to mentioned this as I personally felt that the songs are similar.

-Hmmm....eventhough 9 secs,lift is still a lift!

Sneghidene itself is inspired (not lifted) from "Neramidhu Neramidhu Nenjil oru paatezhuthu"

S. Balaji, every MD has been listed in this thread. IR and MSV are no exceptions. Lets not get biased.

BTW, snehidhane and neramidhu have absolutely nothing in common.

IR's 100 Varusham - Panakkaran was inspired from Mere angne mein - Lawaris.

The 'Azhagaey Brammanidam' song from 'Devadhayai Kandaen' by our "Kollywood Xerox Inc" CEO, Deva, is a rehash of his another song from 'Sound Party' featuring Satyaraj and (late) Pratyusha.

The song is "kaalayil pennae nee..." and was played endlessly throughout the day daily at Thiruvanmiyur bus terminus. ( Man, the guys at the terminus have just 2 cassettes and they play them repeatedly throughout the day... the songs, the ADs everything follow a sequence which you get used to... but thats another story). I happen to note that song while waiting for the bus.

One thing we should appreciate (or skin him, whatever) is, he never tires to use the same song's tune till it becomes noticeable.

Another example is, the 'Pulveli pulveli' song from 'Aasai'. Its a rehash of a song (i dont remember the lyric, though) from an obscure movie 'Ilavarasi' (in which Anju of 'Keladi Kanmani' fame acted as heroine).

The opening scene in 'Saami' which has Saami fighting with the Inspector has the BGM straight lifted from BBC World Service News music. God bless BBC.

Our own KTV theme (or logo or whatever) music is lifted (a noteable bit) from Star Wars theme music. God bless Star Wars.

Cheers,
Vj.

Regarding MSV, I want to point to one thing:

He composed for many Tamil Films which were remade from Hindi. The original Hindi tunes would be very popular in Tamil Nadu. But he never touches that Hindi tunes and he made in hin own (original) way.

Some of the films are:

1) Aaradhana....... (Sivakamiyin Selvan)
2) Chacha Joota....(Ninaiththathai Mudippavan)
3) Yadhon Ki Baarath... (Naalai Namadhey)
4) Bhramhachari... (Enga Mama)
5) Mamtha... (Kaaviya Thalaivi)
6) Kilona... (Engirundho Vandhaal)
7) Johny Mera Naan... (Raja)
8) Dhushman.... (Needhi) ... and somany films.

But MSV never used the original Hindi tunes, but he made his own original tunes only.

But you see in 'Vidudhlai' film MD Chandrabose used 'Laila..o.lalila' (Qurbani) tune.

KVM also used 'Caravan' tune in 'Anaadhai Anandhan' (kannadi munnadi thalladi thallaadi vandaaga aadattumaa). He also used Aradhana tune 'kunku naa rahe' in his film Arunodhayam as 'Enga veettu thanga theril endha naalum thiru vizhaa'.

The old MD Vedha (Modern Theatres) openly tell that he is copying Hindi tunes only. But when he composed music for AVM's "Adhey Kangal", AVM Chettiar told him that he should not touch any Hindi tunes for even a single song. So, he compossed all tunes in original in "Adhey Kangal" (the super thriller and suspense film and a milestone for Ravichandran).

Kunguma pottin magalam - From Kudiiruntha koil was inspired from a Hindi movie I dont remember ( tu jena prema etc etc ) but fine tuned by MSV

Shankar Ganesh , in the movie Vellikizamai viradham and Aatukkara alamelu , very cooly copied the guitar tune - DADAN DAN , DADAN DAN !!! from Bobby

The greatness of Shankar Ganesh is they will be the first to take advantage of hits.
