RD Burman is over hyped by media and his music only appealed to the youth in big citis.....Laxmikant Pyarelal were much better and versatile and their songs always had the Indian touch....and liked by classes and the masses (Karz v/s Sur Sangam) (even though they have copied few songs themselves but they were very few)..RD Burman himself had said in an interview LP were the best musicians in the Hindi Film industry...

@999timepass Very True.Luxmikant Pyarelal were really versatile & S.D.Burman was real Composer and their music was based on Indian music not on western music.

BUT ONE THING Rupamjovirockstar has really taken pains and has done deep study to get this truth out, Great work Rupam.

[rupamjovirockstar]

@MeninodeValpoi Thanks sir.

[volcanictruth]

Great work for the maker of this video, hats of to you for searching and coming out with the truth. Yes RD Burman was a copy cat but nevertheless added his bit to the songs he copied. But hats of to you for compiling this video

[rupamjovirockstar]

@volcanictruth Thanks, but some people don't want to accept the truth

RD was Pritam of 80's. A copycat

[abhishekdsl]

if RD was a great composer 'coz he adapted songs and presented them in his own way then all the present day DJs and remix artistes are great composers.

[ganguam]

You guys have no clue about the breadth of RD...even Rabindranath Tagore had songs that were tune-copied - will you discard him as a composer then? If you have 10 songs out of 10,000 which were tune-copied, you discard someone as a composer? RD's best creations were original - the ones in the video are not even in his top 100.

it's sad but i like indian version more. sorry.

Hats ff for putting this together - I can add Churaliya is a rip off from Boujara If its Tuesday it must be Belgium and a Song from Manoranjan - Aya hoon mai tujhko le jaunga is a rip off from Sergio Mendes & Brazill 66 - After Sunrise - but his beauty was his smei classical composition - he introduced me to Latin Jazz (with his plagiarisms) Remember Amar Prem and Padosan as his signatures - LP were good composers but had no ear for melodies.

R.D. Burman is a fantastic *arranger*, as well as composer and singer. His songs fill me with such joy because of his pooling together of such a wide array of influences. Given the workload he had, there was no way that he could have composed all of those songs himself, and yet each song has a style that is so distinct—I know an R.D. composition when I hear it! So my answer to your question is: R.D. is a great composer and also a great copycat—meow meow!

"R.D.Burman a Copy Cat", I don't agree to this,he may have been inspired by some few western compositions which he has adopted beautifully to suit the Bollywood film song situations.

He has given some original compositions in the 70's and 80's. which are immortal even today and are remembered and revered by today's generation, which speaks volumes of his greatness.

[mkdburman]

The volume of creations or need per annum is the main cause for some quick shots of admixture. All singers and Directors used to watch English films for "inspirations" . Singers were directed to be 'inspired'. We should not forget that part too.

[GoonersofNavarone]

I've always known this...Ever since I started listening to non-Indian music, I realized that all so-called 'legendary' bollywood composers ripped off blatantly!
