COPYING - IN TAMIL FILM HISTORY

Many MDs are copying IR's tune and music. Among them I give the song list which was very successful copying.

1) Neethanae naan pada (Pattu vathiyar) ==> Etho oru paatu (Unnidathil Ennai Koduthaen)
2) Rasathi Unna (Vaideki Kathirunthal) ==> Rosappu chinna rosappu (Surya vamsam)
3) Kadaveethi Kalakalakkum (Amman kovil kilakklae) ==> Thiruvizhanu vantha (Jeyam)

2. Thillana thillana song from Muthu.
Right around the time the song was released I was watching a BBC programme "Holiday" on a sunday. On the title music what do I hear, but the palavi of "thillana".I watched a couple of times to check and it was the same tune and the MD of the title music is also a different guy. so, may be both of them have been inspired from the same source.
3. This is more of a direct lift than inspiration; BGM of Iruvar, the MR film,the main theme music played throughout the movie is from vangelis's soundtrack album of "chariots of fire".The film is remembered just for the soundtrack, so, I don't know why he directly used the tune for a brilliant film like "Iruvar". MaY BE , MR forced him or something.

i wonder y people still dun think ARR has the capability to BE THE SOURCE for people copying his music,they end up this whole thing like " both must be inspired by the same source"..and man...later they will say that Leo Coffe & Mudhal Kanave was inspired from same source....im waiting for that day!!the 2 & 3 is ok...SAR never praised ARR for anything,but ARR did praise SAR for his Yetho oru paathe.....

I just mentioned what SAr mentioned. I don't think anything is wrong in being inspired becos nobody can work in a vacuum. If IR can take folk melodies and rework and reinterpret them in his way, why shouldn't ARR take a much more comtemporary melody and rework/reinterpret it.
The larger question is most ARR fans quick to run down Ysr and Hj
The whole topic will be more meaningful if you can define copying and inspiration.

true abby,no one can be 100% original,but how many have agreed they r inspired??? :P i know i have heard ARR said he did,what bout others??

"Amman koyil kizhakkaaley....anna vayal merkaaley".... (Sakalakala vallavan-1982)

is the same repeatation of :

"Solam vehdakkaiyiley....sollipputtu pona pulley"...(16 vayadhiniley-1977)
Both by IR.

Rrrrrrrepeeeeeattoooooooo........

"Maniyosai kettu ezhundhu... nenjil aasai kodi sumandhu".....(Payanangal Mudivathillai-1982) by IR

is nothing but

"Maadhaa un koyilil... mani dheepan yetrinen"... (Achchaani-1974) by MSV or SG...???


Rrrrrrrrrepeeeeeatttuuu.......

Again,

Poyaa Poyaa - From Jayam is a straight take from :

kada veethi kalakalakkum - From Amman Koil Kizakaalay



Also, in Azagiya theeyay - There is a lovely song- Poo nesithen , naan swasithen ( I dont remember the words ), i guess, it resembles :

Pehela nashaaa - Jo jita wohi sikandhar - Amir Khan etc etc

Am not sure ??

AchchANi is by Raja

Madha un kovilil - Its by IR , for sure.

So, its a self inspiration !!! - Song by - S. Janaki

YSR has done it again. Has anyone talked about his pathetic songs from Daas. "Vaa Vaa" by Shankar Mahedevan, Mahalakshmi -the last 3 lines of each charanam is a 100% lift from the respective lines of the famous IR dappanguththu "adiye manam nilluna" from NeengaL kettavai. Clever lift there. He has a different pallavi but has done a selective lift in the charanam thinking that it would be less obvious. And somehow we are supposed to believe that he is the next best thing in TFM? Puhleeze..

vijayr,
He's claimed he's done it deliberately, like he did "Asai nooRu vagai"
