COPYING - IN TAMIL FILM HISTORY - PART2

[Vysar]

Irandam Ulagam trailor makes me think it might interpolate to original Hollywood movie Cloud Atlas

So the current generation MD

why single out current MDs as though earlier MDs are angels...

[dochu]

whatever way you call it, to me - it is the most disgusting and should be a punishable offense. It is a grand larceny because they charge crores for each movie, develop a clout / image etc and make even more. All at the expense of somebody's intellect. If prime ministers can lose their positions for plagiarising text, these folks deserve the same.

On a more philosophical level, how can they live themselves like this? They obviously stole something and still put up a smile for cameras? Disgusting people!

Folks, I heard this song today on the radio and I am strongly reminded of some Tamil song which I am not able to place. The catch is this Tamil song is most likely from the noughties and the song I am going to post now is from mid-90s. Love will save the day by Des'ree. Anybody got an idea which one this might be:



Oh by the way, it MAY not even be a copy, just some resemblance. But it evoked the pallavi of some Tamil song very strongly for me and I am not sure it is just my imagination going wild.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but the interludes in a song ("kodiyavanin" something) from Muni Part 2 - Kanchana seems to be heavily inspired from the "kottaya vittu vettaikku pogum Sudalaimada Samy" (S.Janaki version, movie - Chinnathayee) song.

i know which tamil song ur referring to.... its a arvindsamy movie......s i agree very strong resemblance....but it may be a coincidence

Arvind Swamy....En Swaase Kaatre padam a? Let me check then. The first line of a song from Rhythm is somewhat like this but that is not the song I had in mind.

[JamesDap]

Thirakaatha Kaatukulle...oh, so it is in En Swaasa Kaatre, not Rhythm. No, not this song, I agree that this is more of a coincidence, don't think ARR was inspired by Love will save the day. But I have heard another song with almost the exact opening phrase of the Love will save the day verse with only some gamakams added to Indianise it. But I have only heard it in Super Singer or other contests, not with the visual from the actual film so I am not able to place it.

[JamesDap]

On second thoughts, as I listen again to Love will save the day, the coincidence in the first line is a bit too close for comfort. The chords are different and ARR resolves the first line differently so I am not able to say if it can be called a copy.
