Everything is fair with ARR

Talk about reusing and recycling. Sounds good?, not so much when it comes to Music. U might call it repetition. U might even call it Plagiarism. But, it all depends on who reuses/recycles/repeats it! When it is the Boss himself, everything is fair! He s got that Midas touch, which makes even the repetition sound so beautiful and leaves me awestruck! The other day, I was watching this movie Roja. I was watching it for the 3rd time I guess, but this time i noticed something new and exciting. There was this scene where the Heroine's sister is betrothed to the Hero. And there goes a mild and melodious BGM. The tune seemed so familiar to me, but I could not recognize it distinctly. On repetitive hearing, I discovered that it was the very tune that has been on repeat mode in my playlist for quite so many days. 'Telephone Manipol'/'Telephone Dhun Mein Hasne Wali' from the movie 'Indian'/'Hindustani', it was! Had it been any other Music director, I would have damned it as plagiarism or shortage of ideas and tunes! This time, though, I applaud it as 'Work of a Genius'!

  2. @nitin- u r right..the beats match this song called 'Poralae Ponnuthai-Sad Version' from the movie 'Karuthamma' more than it matches 'Tu Hi Re'. But ya, it does match Tu Hi Re to an extent..But again, Who cares!! :P
