Remo's Version of the Nepali folk tune

Raaja's Version of the same tune.


The nagging thought for me is whether Raaja heard it from Remo's album 'O meri Munni' or did he actually hear the original tune somewhere

even i felt the same, the moment i heard the BGM, because i have the Remo's piece as mp3. For a moment, i was totally flabberghasted. The question remains 'was he inspired or not?'. Looks like he was, although he improvised it a lot and took it into a different tone altogether.

I think you guys should look into his India 24 Hours album. Thalaivar explores folk tunes and music in the life of different indians(qawwali,nepali,maharashtra,rajasthan and so on so on) in it. I think in this matter we can give the benefit of doubt to him as he has already explored different types of indian music way before this album.

It's a typical 'pahadi' folk flute tune and I have heard minor variations of the same on many occasions, including in an Assamese folk programme that I attended in New Delhi 14 years ago. The source is hence not likely to be Remo's album. Being a typical pahadi tune, the flautist (Arunmozhi/Napolean) may have played it naturally.

appengine,

I think this song was not picturised (it was not there in the original VCD). But its better because the heroines had no dancing sense at all. The song will remain as a classic in our minds.

Thats true. It could be a folk tune...and we know...composers have liberally used folk tunes, by improvising them. Infact i strongly believed that Remo's piece could not have been his own. Not to take any due credit from him ofcourse. he has done his thing...by adapting a folk piece. IR must have also took the same folk piece..and did his thing.

But otherwise, Uliyin Osai BGMs are top class. IR is in amazing form, in that film.

somehow , i couldnt see huge similarlity between remo's version and the BGM , although some shades of similarity was there .

Irukka va irukaaru , namam KR - if anything is there , we can say ' KR's influence' on IR made him do this ! paavam KR
