The problem is that they are under too much pressure to do so many movies with so many songs. Bollywood makes 900 movies a year. It's dumb.

Indians would die before saying that most songs are copied from Pakistani musi. Type "bollywood plagarised pakistani music"" and ""pakistani songs that india copied"". There are 230 songs under the thread.

[IamDon9999]

Most songs copied from Pakistan movies

EVER repeat the same Music Director because of such a huge loss, but but but even after this Tips roped in the same PRITAM to give for their film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani!!

The music was original & SUPER HIT!

it doesn't stop here, the same PRITAM because of whom Tips had to shelve 2 crores is giving music for RACE 2, a Tips film!!

Music companies r heavily involved in this!!

But itz music directors who r often blamed!

[MsHotty333]

For all those who r blaming PRITAM, here's some info:

Pritam came in news big time wen his song Zara Zara touch me was allegedly inspired from a Korean song. Not many know that Tips Industry was sued by Sony BMG for over 2 crores for using this song without giving due credit. Tips in return paid the sum. (given in Wiki)

Now here's the twist;

They Paid 2 crores for a sng i.e more than thrice of what they might have paid Pritam to compose an entire album! Any 1 who goes through this will NEVER
