Bheemakshmapathi…….
Following my previous post, I received an e-mail asking for the song that contains the ‘Stotram’. Here is the scene employs the theme as part of the background score(skip the fight sequence).

While I’m at it, let me throw in a bonus scene. Below is the umbrella scene which I was referring to in the previous post.

You must be wondering as to why I made a whole new post for a couple of videos, smart have become you I see(sorry for the Yoda dialog). While searching for the above videos I found something else as well, which seemed very interesting. It appears that while this tune plays in my car and I blame the industry for not giving the music director the respect he deserves, it wasn’t his in the first place!

I’ll play devils advocate for a while and support this type of stuff. The reason being that the original composition and this one cater to totally different markets and never cross lines. Also the original composer isn’t losing out on his daily bread but definitely stands a chance to earn some more. Now if this tune was stolen by a local composer then the creator loses revenue that he would have got by selling them. Also an Indian composer cannot be tried in a German court and this gives our composers the free hand to lift tunes. I really liked it when A.R.Rahman was credited for ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya‘ that was used in ‘Inside man’, apparently it doesn’t work the other way round. The best argument I can come up with is, ‘The Indian audience doesn’t listen to German/Korean/African music, and so our composers listen to them’.
I rest my case…
Oh yeah yeah. I saw this fantastic download (Sorry I can’t trace it back) of Pritam Chakrabarty and Himmesh’soriginal lifts from Korean TV serials title songs… So what the hell. Remember Bappi da even won a law suit against plagiarism in the You Yess?

me: Whoa that was fast! wat you doin so early maami?
just what you are doing in so late Bud
my god! cant believe keeravani lifted the music straight from the anime final fantasy. i was of the impression that this guy keeravani is a good music composer n the chatrapathi track was simply awesome. SHAME on him for his negative creativity. but must give credit to the original composer, its such a good music theme.
