Funny thing happening in TFI

Amala Paul the corruption killer

கூடிய விரைவில் அப்துல் கலாம் தலைமையில் நடிகை அமலா பாலுக்கு பாராட்டு விழா நடந்தால் ஆச்சர்யப்பட வேண்டாம். அதற்கான முழு தகுதியும் அவருக்கு இருக்கிறது. அதை நிரூபிப்பதற்காகவே ’5வது தூண்’ எனும் தன்னார்வக் குழுவுடன் தன்னை இணைத்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.

//Not related to TFI, but still it is funny to hear this movie has been officially selected from India to Oscars.
http://tanqeed.com/forum/barfi-scene...d-other-movies Wanted to watch this movie, but never expected this.
http://narenmusicnotes.wordpress.com...ebi-or-karela/ This is about music. I like Barfi's music (but please read below).

Nowadays we can't even guarantee if any of the film's work/music is original. Even if the film/music is good/great/exceptional, I am always doubtful in appreciating their work, fearing it may be not done by them fully. I am only talking about copying/lifting, not any inspirational work.

NOV,
I am still puzzled by your recent interests and ignorance. Having affinity towards old film music, it tells a lot about your interest in music and I have a huge respect towards anyone liking old film music. Any way my post regarding Barfi is not for you. If we are seeing such a trend nowadays and we are not able to credit the music directors fully doubting if they did that work, it leaves a lot for us to decide. That's why I keep saying transparency is very important on when/how composers compose a song. It is up to you to decide.

Again I have a different definition for inspiration (as per Maestro). Inspiration is not taking few cues from previous music and developing and incorporating that in his music, inspiration is how you get inspired to create that music spontaneously when director tells the situation, nothing related to any music heard previously. It is totally different what we assume 'inspiration' actually is.

Barfi is a good movie. I enjoyed it . But I couldnt help notice so many scenes/situations exactly similar to old classics like in this . In both the scenes the heroine is mentally ill.

V_S, ignorance? I laugh at your insolence. so, so typical.
my post was made in general AFTER observing ppl's behaviour for the last 15 years and I stand by it. (your interpretation of inspiration notwithstanding)
NO ONE in TFM is an uththaman when it comes to copying. Like they say, a man becomes a thief only upon being caught. That we are living in the information era makes it all the easier to immediately trace the original.
and really, HCIRFs are the last ppl who should talk about transparency.

The fact that Barathiraja was/is so close to Ilayaraja doesn't make him a person who understands music much better than an HCIRF. Athu pOla....
