Oh, I thought all these were original. But he made such good 'copies' that we can appreciate them even now... unlike the Anu Malik ones.
Indians can be fooled so easily............

Apanatva,

Insignia,,
thanks
great songs never thought they were copied
Can you tell the Hindi version of " O mor Moyna go"
Although we call these 'copies', let's also remember that in all such songs, only the opening tune (The 'Mukhada')of the song is copies, while the rest of the song entirely is newly composed. This however, doesn't affect the genius of these great composers who were quite gifted and talented in their own right. For every such 'copied' song, there are numerous original compositions by these music directors, which are just gems.
And let's also not pass any loose comments like 'Indians can be fooled so easily' as if Indians are a stupid lot, while others (Read 'western') people are highly intelligent.
@kk,
@Souvanik Talukdar,
@Shashank Divekar,
thanks.
Perhaps the only genius among indian composers.....these inspirations from classical or folk surely cannot be said to be copies for that matter Chaplin's LIMLIGHT is a direct lift from Tchaikovsky s Piano Conserto No 1
@Unknown
