COPYING - IN TAMIL FILM HISTORY

[njv]

Njv,

Athu vamba We (ARR) fans are also very curious from where he draws inspirations.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. M4E & Vijayr, Thanks for the replies.

Was only kidding. ARR had more inspiration from MSV than IR and even IR has his inspiration from MSV. Nothing wrong in it. MSV showed the way to IR and ARR. MSV is a musical pithamagan.

[MADDY]

For example, Undhan desathin kural in Swades is definitely inspired from an old MSV-TKR song (Vandha naaL mudhal indha naaL varai vaanam maaravillai.....vaanum mannum kadal kaatrum mandhan maari vittan). One song from Pukar is inspired from Kallellam maanikka kaal aaguma. Etc.

hey i can accept the pukar one but not the Swades song.....undhan desathin kural is one of ARR's best songs it is 100% ARR's and not a MSV-inspired song.....

[MADDY]

The more disturbing tendency for me is remixing or blatantly reusing old songs, done by MDs like YSR, Srikanth Deva etc.

well said vijay, YSR, who is supposed to replace ARRahman at the top, blatantly remixes IR's songs.....

[Music4Ever]

Can't ignore when two have contested my observation

First of all, I believe the song is an inspiration and not a blatant lift. And now for the exact postion, listen after Gangai unnai azhaikkiradhu ... pala samayam unai azhaikiradhu, and then

At 2.45 (on Raaga) the following threatens to remind of the said MSV-TKR song [ ]

kannAmoochi Attam azhaikka
chinna pattAm poochi kootam azahaikka .....
needhan chinna nila cholaidhan azhaikka

Maybe it is just me, I guess. That said, the resemblance is not unlike Kumari of HJ and Ennuyir thozhiyE of ARR (the former threatens to mimick the latter). The inspiration is subtle and it is often the case with clever MD's. Just my opinion.

Not sure if this is posted earlier..

heard a song from Jithan sung by Shankar Mahadevan (the hero ramesh dancing with two bar dancers kinda).. the entire charanam of the song was a complete shameless rip-off of 'Koduthadhellaam Koduthaan' (Padagotti)...!!!

Gives a feel like, an impotent guy calling some one else's kid as his own.

Is Koranghu Kayil Maalaa (MX) a rehash of Vanam Endhan Melirukka (Vetrivizha) ?

even here

vathiyium beediyum "Hey naina"

My doubts?

[njv]

I heard nErukku nEr nindru paarungaL pOdhum from edhirigaL jaakkiradhai (music by veda) and the first two lines are exactly like Vaarayen thozi vaarayen thozi vaivittu seeti adi (jeans, ARR)

[thumburu]

Just listened to "Aadhi" songs. The first 2 lines in the song "Athi athika" is a note to note rip off from a not so recent song which Iam not able to spot out exactly. I vaguely remember if the song was sung by Swarnalatha.

If one were to list Srikanth Deva's copied songs, one could end up listing his entire discography.He makes his father look remarkably original in comparison.
