Rightly said. We have enough talent. Not just 2 people. We have some very good
composers and some fine film-makers.
And Pravinder, R.D.Burman was not 'so called' legendary composer. He actually
was, despite all those lifts. And not only he, there were/are many legendary
composers, few lifts not withstanding.

Aakarsh

Mani Rathnam's Guru was inspired from Aviator. Anjali had traces of ET.
the list goes on. I can give you more such examples. that doesnt take away
anything away from the legendary director. We have tremendous talent in our
industry. Please open your eyes. Stop insulting art and artists.

Hi Yogesh and All,
I wrote that message in a funny way to emphasize the qualities of ARR and Mani
Ratnam in comparison to others and by saying that I really mean almost all
others (of course there will be exceptions but only a few like Guru Dutt, Bimal
Roy, Shyam Benegal, Satyajit Ray & Naushad). Main reason of course is their
originality. These artists changed the way things were done at their time while
keeping high standards of their art and staying original.
The bitter truth of Indian film industry (or let's say Indian film history) is
that almost everything we did was copied from somewhere else.
The 2 most shocking examples I can give you are:
1. Sholay movie is copied. Its an amalgam of 6 or 7 great western movies from
Hollywood.
2. Song "Mehbooba Mehbooba" form Sholay (by so called legendary composer R D
Burman) is copied as it is.
[Those who are interested in this stuff, can email me and I'll give the
detailed proof regarding everything said here and countless more movies and
songs that you thought were the greatest ever from India]
For your further information you can go to the following link:

f-2-cinema- gets-inspired- 2/
So why will I not say these people are Donkeys?
I am not writing all this because I have gone crazy, I am writing because I
have seen some of the finest movies ever made in the history of cinema. This
experience has been equivalent to the heavenly experience we all had listening
ARR from Roja to Raavan.
I know the time and space is short here and topic a very big and away from ARR.
But I'll give you a few names of movies (See these and your soul will be
blessed the way ARR's music blesses your soul).
I am giving a few extremely legendary director's names and their few best
movies:
(Be aware that most of the foreign movies are between 1930 to 1960. That was
known as Golden time of movie esp. for Hollywood. These days the movies made
are pathetic and senseless whether its Hollywood or India)
>From India - Mani Ratnam (Nayagan, Bombay, Kannathil muthamittal and almost
>every movie he ever made), Satyjit Ray (Pather panchali), Guru Dutt (Pyasa,
>Kagaj ke phool), Bimal Roy (Bandini, Do bigha zameen), Shyam Benegal (Zubeida,
>Ankur).
>From Abroad - Robert Bresson (France: L'argent, Mouchette), Roberto Rossellini
>(Italy: Viaggio in Italia, Roma citta aperta), Vittorio De Sica (Italy: Ladri
>di biciclette, Umbrto D), Federico Fellini (Italy: La strada), William Wyler
>(Roman holiday, Detective story), John Ford (The grapes of wrath, How green
>was my valley), Frank Capra (It happened one night, Mr. Smith goes to
>Washigton), Howard Hawks (His girl Friday, Red river), George Cukor (The
>Philadelphia story, My fair lady), Alfred Hitchcock (Notorious, The 39 steps),
>Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) , Fritzs Lang (The big heat), Earnst Lubitsch
>(Ninotchka), Preston Sturges (The lady eve, Sullivan's travels), Richard
>Brooks (Cat on a hot tin roof).
Those who can die for watching a legendary movie, can contact me.
Pravinder.
