Like vicky says, Myriads of instruments have been used uniquely by thalaivar that by the time we do a writeup for each we might become grandfathers. Cant imagine that thalaivar does all these from pure notes to live orchestra in minutes. Certainly the work of GOD of music if there is one.
Just saw this today :

Do these people give IR any royalty for such use? Or is KR behind such ads and they get some revenue anyways...

Idhaithhaan IR "isai yenbadhu yaematru vela" yendru tongue-in-cheek aa sonnaar polirukku!
in annan goundamani's language "arasiyalnaa idhellaam sagajamappaa" - adhanaala thaan, IR very smartly keeps quiet when someone plagiarises from him - can the pot call the kettle black ? - he he
You know he did not exactly lift wholesale except for the kites song(even that was two lines). He has inspirations but not lifts.
Add to that about him openly admitting his inspirations like the mozart piece for his ada veetukku song and many others in his book. And he has a better explanation for plagiarism than the one you mentioned, more professional version.
"What i am composing was the leftover by composers like bach and mozart and what you are composing is leftover from me". But if you ask me he is the most original composer out of all the composers around in India. 13 plagiarised pieces out of about what 8000 plus songs?
Just one thing, isn't the murattukaalai song from antoin ruiz pipo?
Hulkster - we never know fully well how many other tracks he has been 'inspired' from - but yes, he is the most original and prolific - perhaps, in those days if internet existed, he would have been forced to be even more original
I have not mentioned 'money money' by Abbas and 'kan malargalin azhaippidhal', and another boney M song and 'darling darling darling'
There are about 13 documented inspirations(itwofs.com), but the thing is his inspirations are so minimal that its like he is just creating a totally new track out of it with no similarity to its style. But his orchestration usually is quite original. I actually think the flashdance theme might be a coincidence but the benefit of doubt goes towards inspiration.
What are those songs? Usually our people have a habit of linking songs due to style,raagam and flow but that does not exactly mean inspirations. Its very hard to find lethal inspirations in thalaivar's music than anybody else. Its like finding a needle in a haystack.
irir123,
While it is clear that the initial lines have been taken the tune takes a totally different turn later and Raja builds on the initial melodic cues and he builds a very original structure. I mean, how many can even think of turning a song from a hard rock group like Uriah Heep into a comic song? While I don't condone copying I think saying these songs were copied is over-reacting. (Along with these songs we can also include 'Favorite things' song pallavi in 'Yathra'.) To me it is almost as if someone is telling Raja what song he would create if were given a pallavi like this? In earlier days I am sure he was probably under a lot of pressure to copy. I mean, how can anybody with even a little musical sense, want to copy from Boney M!!!
A few instances where the whole song was probably used is 'Pan Banaras wala' being used in Yugandhar (Telugu version of Don) and the 'Kasme Vade' song of Kalyanji Anandji, ('Kanavu Kaanum') and the 'Rocking round the clock'(?) for 'Rum Pum Pum'.
