Music Composer Pritam – Exposed!

26 06 2008

Thanks to my friend Sanjay who forwarded me the links to the originals of almost all the songs that Bollywood Music Composer Pritam  has composed.

It came to me as one of great shocks after listening to the originals, exact ditto…. thats what I can say right now. Just wanted to share it amongst all so that we get to know more about this artistic composer. However, honestly, I would not like to critisize him for being a fraud in terms of copying compositions. Just think, we would have been left away from these wonderful tracks and melodies, if it was not for Pritam. So, for me, its thanks Pritam, since its his tracks that play mostly on my ipod! 🙂

Anyways, for the originals, here are the link:

LMAO!!
Was pritam a software kooli by any chance? Looks like Ctrl C & Ctrl V character in him is kinda inherited phenomena…. 🙂

If Pritam copies, so do you. Even the contents of your blog is not original. Most of the stuff is from http://www.itwofs.com
Having said that, am not justifying Pritam in any way. He ought to be tied to lamppost and beaten with the original CDs. 😉

@Manav:
First thing, you might have read in the blog. I thank him for uncovering such wonderful melodies! Secondly, just wanted to explore the hidden facts. The same way you have pointed the weblink wherein this matter might have been taken. I got it as a forward and on knowing the truth I was shocked!!

@Sujit: Good collection.. amazing number of songs that have been copied…

Lots of people try to argue that copying isn’t such a sin because the copies sound “better” than the originals, or serve to “introduce” the originals to supposedly insular audiences, and go on to celebrate famous remakes and covers of popular numbers. The music is what matters, they affirm. However, even if all the music of the world was akin to an open-source OS, free to chop and change as desired, the real sin is in not giving CREDIT to the original composer/lyricist/arranger, even when the “inspiration” is clear. Adding mayonnaise and blueberries to Tandoori Chicken may make it TC version 1.1, but suggesting Tandoori Chicken was my bright idea…

Extensive list, Sujit – nice one! Vijay gave me the link to this post in his comment on my post on plagiarism by old directors, SD, RD, OP Nayyar, etc. Right here.
