Why is Bollywood so reckless and insincere?

Bollywood is known for its wayward ways of copying Hollywood themes so recklessly. It has now become kind of a standard to copy the non-desi themes and even our well-informed critics have resigned to this fate. They also need movies to review, it is their daily bread, and unless Bollywood doesn’t produce stuff, what would they do?

But, now the Roshans have made headways in this space by copying a desi music for their upcoming movie Krazzy4! Remember that the Roshans camp has a well-acclaimed music composer in Rajesh Roshan and still they had to stand the shame of the court ruling against them. There is a very nice story on this topic in DNA.

The original composer of the music, Ram Sampath, has won a whopping Rs. 2 crore through an out-of-court-settlement with the Roshans. That is quite a fortune.

Music channel: Youtube.com


Youtube.com is the ultimate
goldmine when someone wants to
dig for a sweet song he hasn't enjoyed
for years.

I know, the above statement
is an open advertisement that this
writer is a ‘tube light’.

People had been doing it since ages.

I knew people have got hooked to this website for music as much as for videos. But I realised the true potential of this website as a music-mine only when I logged into this site and searched for some of the songs which I had been really missing. Example: the songs of 1990s.

[Our superstars were full of youth then. Our writers and directors were closer to life than formulas and star-packages then.]

It is really amazing that we can turn nostalgic on the web. I am a late entrant on Youtube.
