AR Rahman’s copycat ways exposed! It is absolutely disgusting to see these people getting famous by doing nothing more than a copy-paste jobA R Rahman, Indian Bollywood music director, is good in sound but not good in creating or composing original music, he did lot of plagiarism in his music, copied western music, changed few things on it and sell it in India.What we’ve managed are only some of the unearthing. There are, obviously, a cart-load more. Considering Rahman draws his inspiration from soundtracks that are not easily accessible or heard by an average Indian (other than a hardcore music aficionado), he did a lot of plagiarism.Say Boo to rahman!!! He is a commercial crap!!
Song 1. Hello Mr. ethirkatchi [Film: Iruvar]
The opening piano part definitely inspired. Source: Dave Grusin's Memphis Stomp, from the OST of The Firm, released in 1993.Genuine copy of the piano intro sequence.
Song 2. Kuluvalile [Film: Muthu]The background rhythm and beats inspired from the song 'rescue me' by Fontella Bass. The song was part of the OST of the film 'Sister Act', released in 1965.The rhythm has been used. And also a copy from like a virgin ( Madonna).
Song 3. Akkadannu naanga [Film: Indian]Again, the background beats are inspired. Source: Paul Young's 'Love of common people', from the album 'No Parlez', released in 1983.Oh sure, the beats are copied.
Song 4. Anbae anbae [Film: Jeans]The opening sequence seems inspired from Peter Gabriel's 'Of these, hope...' from the album 'Passion: Music from the last temptation of Christ'.
Song 5. Shakalaka Baby [Film: Mudhalvan]The rhythm loop with an underground feel is also found in the track 'Flight IC 408' by State of Bengal and the track 'Aint talkin bout dub' by Apollo 440.Possibly a commercially available loop, done with some improvisations by Rahman. The loop appears almost throughout the Apollo 440 track and at places in Flight IC 408.
Song 6. Thillana thillana [Film: Muthu]The opening African female humming is ripped off from Deep Forests 'Night Bird'.Oh sure, ripped. Just that initial humming part. But if Deep Forest can rip off native African sounds....!
Song 7. Poopookkum osai [Film: Minsara Kanavu]The beats seem inspired from Lebo M's 'Rhythm of pride lands: Kube', which was last part of the Disney's Greatest Pop hits collection.The beats are sure inspired.
Song 8. Thenmerku paruvakkaatru [Film: Karuthamma]The beats are similar to a track by Dr Alban, 'Om we rembwe ike'. And the tune is from a jazz music cd.
Song 9. Paarkadhey [Film: Gentleman (1993)]Alleged to be inspired from the Osibisa number 'Kelele'
Song 10. Ekamevadhvitheeyam - Theme music from Baba [Film: Baba]Inspired from the the background music of The Untouchables (1987).'Ekamevadhvitheeyam' means "there is only one paramatma, no second entity". This song opens almost exactly like the prominent score from the cult classic 'The Untouchables' with music by Ennio Morricone.
Song 11.Ottagatha Kattikko [Film: Gentleman (1993)]Highly inspired by Raj Koti's Telugu pop song 'Eddem ante' sung by Malgadi Shuba, in 1991. album 'Chik pak chik bam', with music by Raj Koti.
Song 12. Pudhu Vellai Mazhai (Film: Roja)Yanni’s track, Quiet Man, from his album In The Mirror, has a particular crescendo part, which sounds suspiciously similar.
Song 13. Tu Hi Tu (Film: Kabhi Na Kabhi) had Rahman’s music and the beginning of the song sounds so much like The Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel!
Song 14. jumbalakka (Film: en swasa katre) It’s a copy of a Spanish song.
Song 15. Luka chhupi (Film: Rang de basanti): The intro Guitar is a straight rip from the intro that comes in a song called “Dogs” by Pink Floyd
Song 16. Background score (Film: Rangeela) and a lot of the songs in there: Are a direct inspiration from music by Deep Forest (their first album, the one with a green color album cover).
Song 17. Telephone (Hindustani, Indian) : is directly inspired from a song called “Happy Nation”, All that she wants (Ace of base)
Song 18. Anbe anbe kollaathe (Film: Jeans) Copied From Passion (Peter gabriel - Last temptation of Christ)
Song 19. Akkadaanu naanga (Film: Indian) Copied From Love of common people (Paul young)
Song 20.Mellisaye Film: Mr.Romeo Copied From Theme music (Ennio Morricone - For a few dollars more)
Song 21. The tune for the title track for the movie “Lakshya” is a direct copy of the guitar riff in ACDC’s “Hard as a rock”.
Song 22. Thaiyya Thaiyya (Film: Uyirae) seems eerily remeniscent of The Corr’s “Silver Strand”.
Song 23. o humdum suniyo re... he copied the music from one of backstreet boys song...
Song 24. Film: Rubaroo Film: Rang de Basanti has striking resemblance to and feels inspired from Breakfast at Tiffany of Deep Blue Something
Song 25.Tu bin bataye Film: Rang de Basanti Copied from Kaempfert's mid-20th century creation. Wotsay.
Song 26. Tasi taxi song, Film: Sakarakati is resounding like Daddy Yankees Gasolina
Song 27. Film: Elay- Neram vanduduchu song resounding like The Corrs - MTV Unplugged - Toss The Feather
Song 27. Muquabala (Film: Hum se hai muquabala, kadhalan) Dr. Alban's African tribe {in fact many other songs have lifted the beat of this song
Song 28. Film: Bombay, Theme music - Wyaat Earp

So did you sit and find out all these by yourself? Am sure you pulled lot of these stuffs from internet :) .... Stop commenting that others copy when you do it by yourself !!! (btw i am not die hard AR Rahman fan.. i respect hardwork!!!)
ReplyDeleteno matter whether those things r taken form some other stuffs from net......but overall its a gud consolidated list of ARR copy cat works......he used technology well ....and he is gud in using all those music softwares ...thats it..ARR wasteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeletemmoditu po....no one is eligible to talk about rahman .....these songs are just assumption first here those songs...it is not similar to any of his music.
DeleteWell.. You don't understand music. You do understand bits and pieces of songs..
ReplyDeletecome on!
ReplyDeleteU knw it.wtevr said n dun hs music z jst magic.abt hm cpyn...Evry artist accepts dat at tyms da sngs get stuk in dar subconscious mind n it cums out at times.evn othr artsts cpy indian music.out'a da 1000 songs he has dun,u cud find nly 30 cpid.isnt dat a bg deal.
Da wrld accpts hs music*oscar z da height.so yeah...sum rspct???
I think we're just dealing with the fine line between "Being inspired from" and "Plagiarism".
ReplyDeleteSure Rahman might have copied music from other places. After all he is inspired by a lot of music from all around the world.
I'm not denying the facts. But frankly speaking saying that he Plagiarized outright is a bit too much!
WTF i don't understand y u guys are so desperate...ARR is such a legend...
ReplyDeleteMusic comes from an inspiration its not the copied stuff, ARR is not copying tunes. He improvises everything. Whatever the music is..whatever the genre is.. everything is under the 7 notes.. C D E F G A B or Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Da Ne every musician has freedom to improvise. also film music is quiet commercial so pls dont bother about anything.
ReplyDeleteThats exactly the point this blog writer should understand!!
DeleteMost of the songs have only small pieces of western, which might have inspired him. But few songs are copied as it is. We can say he composed indian songs with western rhythms and some hormony.
ReplyDeleteI can point by point argue with this blog owner!!
ReplyDelete1. AR Rahman, Indian bollywood music director?? Is that how ARR is being designated now? His first debut in Tamil, with Roja, was in 1993 and then only in Rangeela in 1995!! That is just one example to quote how Rahman cannot be ever be only designated as Indian bollywood music director.
2. The blog owner constantly is using the word 'inspiration'. Can't one produce songs being inspired by someone else? 'Inspired by' and 'copied by' as two different things.
3. This line 'not easily accessible or heard by an average Indian' - What is this supposed to mean?? the blog owner wants to say I, for example, dont have access to certain songs and Rahman know what i cant access and copies that? Is that what he means? How does one decide what is accessible and what is not??
4. Amongst all the songs, not going into specific details per song, what is Song No 14 similar to? 'It’s a copy of a Spanish song'. What is this supposed to mean?? You know I can write - 'you know this song sung/composed/played is similar to the other song i was listening to the other night' - conveys the same meaning!
I think the blog owner has much needed patience in life to sit and compile such information. I sincerely think he should put in this energy and effort and do something production. There are a limited number of notes on which every string of music is created. When such notes are played by different people, there is bound to be a situation when the sound coming out of such notes would overlap. Thats not copying!! That is two different people creating same music reaching a similar level. When such music is created and reaches the listener, it is upto the listener to interpret it. If the listener thinks its copied without giving importance to the music as such, i honestly doubt his credibility, whether he has basic sense of music at all in the first place.
The blog owner if is in a situation to compare songs, then he must be a person with complete understanding of music, which he's CERTAINLY not.
The blog owner, should further do someresearch on the songs which are similar and find out further copies of the same. like he has said X is copied from Y. i urge to the blog owner to further find out if Y is copied from Z or not and further Z is copied from A. He can continue doing that till he reaches a finish point.
AR Rahman did not become a 'legend' by copying! One needs to think why? if copying was his profession, he wouldnt have this name what he has today!
If one has to criticise, i'll just say look at mirror, think what you are!
Rahman is a sureshot copycat! A smart and savvy businessman
