Ride your glory by piggy-backing on someone else's success ---this is India , this is Bollywood!

TV is On : my channel switches to "Colors" , Some award ceremony is going on..!!

Shahrukh is trying to create some romantic scenes one-after-another [on stage] ; every movement of him is being followed by a spot-light and being back(ground)-ed by the romantic music pieces like-- the Violine tunes from Mohabbatein ,the Mandolin beats from DDLJ, the melody of 'suraj hua madham' etc ..!!

'WoW !!'

Wait, you SRK fans! Dont let your heart melt for Shahrukh now , nothing heroic of him at this moment . It is actually your subconscious mind which is taking you over now, submitting to those finest music tones [unknowingly] but reporting to your brain officially asif the ongoing 'magic' is being created by the one whom you are watching in-front of you --the actor, Shahrukh !

[Alas, Would anybody care at this moment to give credit to where it is due --say to the creators of those music which is actually raising the pulses in your body right now [Jatin-Lalit] !! ]

The fact is : By the time the actor SRK builds his empire, those music duo find themselves ending up in bankruptcy causing them to be parting apart and hence finishing an entity called "Jatin-Lalit" from art-world [ BTW, They did not get any single film-fare award also for carrying a memento !! ]

West is west -- MJ will be credited for his own pop !! Be it Lady Gaga for her chartbusters, or Bryan Adams for his romantic tracks or Pink Floyd for their psychedelic rocks, they get all their due credit and nobody else has a chance to ride on their success--[its like cash-on-delivery] which is actually the ideal thing in my opinion !!



I think Javed Akhtar had initiated something some time back for royalty for music composers/lyricists but looks like the initiative was suppressed immediately , he faced a ban too from Film Federation of India !

  1. This blog reminded me the famous quote by Jose Silva an American parapsychologist.

    "We do not want to gain at someone else's loss;
    we want to gain while helping the other person to also gain."

    not only in bollywood...we can see this kind of illusion in every field in India...We cant go and correct everthing...but as an individual, we can give credit to where it is due and avoid piggy backing on someone else's sucess.

    Nice blog Honsha!!!! appreciated :)
