COPYING - IN TAMIL FILM HISTORY - PART2

Scale,
Of course it is common knowledge that Rumbumbum is inspired by "Rock Around The Clock". And 'rock and roll' has a very typical sound, feel and structure. Its not a note-for-note lift by any means.

And seriously, Scale, just give it a break. Haven't you noticed that nobody other than you finds similarities in the comparisons you bring out here? Don't get me wrong, thappa sollala, serious a solren... i mean yaarukkue neenga solra similarities therila, for most of the allegations you have put forward...

dinesh I think so too. Any experts? Is this an inspiration, copy , same genre or am I just deaf?

No inspiration or copy. This song is based on the genere called Qawwali, a very famous urdu, hindustani music genere. Qawwali's are predominantly sung with dholaks, Tabla and harmonium. Ustad Nusrat Fatheh Ali Khan saab was a great exponent of Qawwali.....

During those days if you were watching DD (National) you could have come accross many such programs based on this music genere.. That is how I liked qawwali

Yes Movies, i think its too close to be called inspired.

zz, yeah, the beats is something common in qawalli, but i think the tune is too similar to call it inspired, isnt it ? Perhaps u can lighten us more on the basics of tunes in Qawalli. :)

I think you are referring to the song Unakkena Naan. THis has already been addressed. And the team of the movie were the culprits. VA was against it, it seems.

yeah am referring to that... and i never knew it before...
and the MD cant blame on the movie team... anything which goes under his name, he is responsible... he should not have agreed for that... if he had really come up with a equally good tune or a better tune, why would anybody force him to lift from a older one...

i dont see a point in ur defence for VJ :)

"if he had really come up with a equally good tune or a better tune, why would anybody force him to lift from a older one... "
- Poda vitta thaane avaru poduvaaru. Agreed, once he agrees to it, he is fair game but when the makers are hell bent on certain things, ivaru enna pannuvaaru? At least, not yet (in terms of his stature)

Softsword,

The song was credited to PV Prasath - Director of the film, not to Vijay Antony. VA did it on the compulsion of director, but didn't want to associate his name with that song.

No point in blaming him :D
