Why have the music directors gone crazy?? It's a long standing unanswered question, "why are music directors copying songs from others??"... The best effort answer, if any, from music directors are.. "I got impressed by that piece of music!!!".. Hmmm.. The worst of all.. This small piece of music becomes the BGM for the whole song which finally becomes a hit.. Following are some of my analysis from recently heard copy songs...
Lets start with my fav.. A.R. Rahman.. Rahman used to copy.. I agree.. But then.. He is not like others.. He wont have the same piece repeated without any change like Deva or Yuvi...
Harris Jayaraj!!! The second best who tries to make music by adding all sorts of loopy music in his songs.. Finally.. Becomes a hit!! I really cant understand why he uses so many instruments for a simple song.. ARR should be praised for this.. He restricts himself to a max of 4 or 5 for all his songs..
And the recent one.. Everyone would have heard ARR's "Munbe Vaa" (is there anyone left without hearing this divine music???) and.. Recent release of Harris from Unnaale Unnaale has the song, "Mudhal Naal".. If u hear the starting of both the songs.. They really sound the same.. I dont know whether they were accidentally composed so by both.. Or.. They were accidentally copied by both from same source!!!!
And... If u hear "Lukka Chuppi" from RDB and "Vellai Pookkal" from Kannathil Muthamittal.. Same instrument.. Similar chords.. ARR, though sounds similar, its different and were composed at different times!!! But... the previous comparison.. Haiyo!!! Unbelievable!!!
But few more about ARR on his own copies.. It's very well known to everyone that ARR used the BGM of "Telephone Manippol" of Indian in Roja itself... And the latest one like this.. If u cud remember the BGM in Sillunu Oru Kaadhal during the Telephone scene where Bhoomi makes chanceless expressions, u cud identify "Kulichcha Kuththaalam" song from Duet.. But.. Are these termed to be copies as he has used his own music???
Next.. Thalaivar(?) Yuvi!!!! U dont need to ask about him!!! All his hit songs are mere copies of something else.. Mostly from spanish and french!!! Hmmm.. His song, "Oru naalil!!" from "kuppai"pudhupettai!!! He havent added anything to the base spanish song!!! The remix song is his addition of different instruments over it!!! And.. The worst of all.. He has copied his own father's song in Kaadhal Kondaen.. One of the BGM has Ilayaraja's one of the best compositions!!!
And.. I happened to see one fight scene in "Kizhakku kadarkarai saalai!!" (ECR.. tamil form!!!).. Its BGM had nothing but Navras music from Matrix without any change in music!!! I dont think the music director even had mind to recompose it.. Think he directly added that song to "Uhaa.. Ihaa..." sounds of fight scene for his BGM in his comp!!! Kudos to the (dunno-his-name) music director!!!
Why r these people like this??? Cant they make any good music without any copy??? Are they paid only for copying???
(Note: ARR is something really great!! Though he gets impressed by something.. He uses it only here and there.. Also.. The latest update.. His 3 songs.. "Khalbali", "Lukka Chuppi" from RDB and one song from Water have been nominated for Oscar awards under original music category!!!! )
Update: In para 4.. It's not 'Munbe Vaa' but 'Newyork Nagaram'. 'Munbe Vaa' also has similar chords at its start!! But 'Mudhal Naal' is a copy from 'Newyork Nagaram'.

hi
landed up in your page traversing several links.
btw "munbe va" and "mudhal naal" doesn't sound similar openings..

@Jaya Chitra
Hi, Thats probably because you wouldn't have heard it clearly ;). I didnt mention ARR's voice. Hear the chords that starts few seconds after ARR starts singing.. U'll get to hear the same instrument used in 'Lukka Chuppi' and 'Vellai Pookkal' of ARR. The notes have been copied by Harris Jeyaraj in 'Mudhal Naal'!! I've added this in this post after people told me that my finding was right!! ;)
lol.. you haven't compared "mudhal naal" with the rdb song.. you hve made only with munbe va.. chk your blog again ;)
and yea .Lukha chupi nd Mudhal naal hve the same beginning chords..
forgot to mention that in the prev comment
@Jaya Chitra
Oops.. There's a small mistake!! I didn't notice it. The base ARR song is 'Newyork Nagaram' and not 'Munbe Vaa'. I missed out that line in between!! But ARR has used the same intrument in all those songs. And Harris' copy is from 'Newyork Nagaram'!!
hmmm.. you make a mistake and end up commenting "Thats probably because you wouldn't have heard it clearly ;)" .. lol.. anyways yea.. good analysis of copy directors ! probably my last comment to this blog.. dont think you wil hve patience anymore to read mine.. lolzz..
@Jaya Chitra
Oops.. I agree my mistake!! I was written a month ago.. I didn't check the post again before replying!! Anyways thanks for correcting my mistake!!
i love ur entry. yes, one day u think ur musicans work great,the other day u know they r thieves! i'm a big fan of ARR too and i did search for his song that said copied. only pakkathe and toofan ki raat obviously sound like the original. the others just a partial. visit my blog (ngumpatfordummies.com) coz i just found another copy, srikanth Deva Aiyo Aiyo song from m kumaran son of ....
Hi, do you have a name for the spanish base for oru naalil....
in pudupettai
I bet ARR havent copied, and you can it is inspiration.
Eg: Anbe song from kadhal desam and Engima's song have same base, U can call this insipration, but it is not copy. Bcoz, the tech instruments have default tunes with which music directors can play around, probably bcoz of this many songs sound similar.
The fact copy of songs can be compared to tune.
I bet ARR never copied tune from ANY OTHER directors, though he is used his OWN tune for various album across language.
Harris potenial comes to question, when u listen to Blues ALL rise [org of june ponnal]. Mere copy.
Similary yuvan copied almost all spanish, asian lang tunes.
copy of tune, doubts music directors creativity.
