    great dude. man these r same ones copied.man can u tell me that did rehman copy it from somewhere

    Iam a big ARR Fan myself.

    That aside,while the tune is same in all the 3 clips , IMO there is no need to cry foul.

    Any one who has played a instrument - keyboard/anything - and tried composing knows this : Whenever a new tune is tried & gets done into a song,the composer usually concentrates on the MAIN TUNE - checking if its good,has it been heard before etc. That apart,to add 'closing' parts to that tune or extend that one tune into a whole song,they inadverdently add a 'regular' end tune / 'shades' to the rest of the song .

    This can be seen when some one plays a keyboard.These parts are like 'default' ones when the fingers would simply automatically goto when 'finishing' the tune . This happens more in the case of 'lesser' music directors. [ No pun]

    This type of repetitions can be seen in N number of songs over a wide variety of music directors - especially Harris - whose tunes in some lines resemble his own tunes from previous movies.

    These are not done with the intention of copying.And unless the composer is very intelligent [ like ARR Perhaps ?:-) ], there is no way he can run a comparison test of every part of the tune with every other known song .

    It is bound to happen.[
    There are guys who copy bit by bit of a tune.Iam not talking about them !!]

    Not sure ,If you could get me - I tried explaining the way I knew - :-)

    >>ivalo thaan kandupidichirkaanga!!!!
    LOL:)

    @ Shahul:
    I dont think it is just the similarity of the raaga.. the notes and the timing are exactly same!!!

  1. Aravind

    @ inside mind:
    I got exactly what u said...
    >> when the fingers would simply automatically goto when 'finishing' the tune
    Ya.... when playing the keyboard, the fingers do move automatically to keys relevant to that scale...
    but, why cant ppl be more creative??

    @ Sush:

    I think Harris Jayaraj was just a keyboard player or something for ARR in Mudhalvan. AFAIK he didn't actually any song.

  1. Harish

    Creativity is a must for a music director. Ragha may be same but he should use his creativity to compose entirely a new tune every time.

    The three gems of tamil music have composed the following songs in the same ragha "SHIVARANJINI".But their tunes are different.

    1.Song:Nalanthana
    Film:Thillana mohanambal
    M D :K V Mahadevan

    2.Song:kuyil paatu
    Film:Rasavin manasile
    M D :Ilayaraja

    3.Song:Kannum kannum kollaiyadithal
    Film:Thiruda thiruda
    M D :A R Rahman

    Only because of their originality and creativity they could be in a position to give entirely different tunes in the same ragha.
    That's why they still remain as the legends of Indian film music.

    Great find !!! :)

    Harris seems to be using a lot of ARR's tunes of late.

    Listen to "Orugallukke pilla pilla" from Sainikudu (his latest telugu venture) at http://raaga.com/channels/telugu/movie/A0000943.html

    It's a bit by bit adaptation of Thayya thayya... One other song in the same film has resemblances to Lukka chuppi...
