Talk:Pritam

message: I dont know what people like shovon76 have achieved by constantly fighting off plagiarism section in this article. Most people who listen to hindi music know that Pritam has plagiarized most of his songs and nearly all of his hits. His fans know that also and love him regardless of that. Only thing these people have achieved is they have denied the occasional person who is unfamiliar with hindi movie music from his right to access information. As for reliable sources, google "Pritam Plagirism" and you get a number of good hits. For example See http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/458140/20130417/ranbir-kapoor-badtameez-dil-deepika-padukone-plagiarism.htm. Tell me International Business Times is an unreliable source. You can do this for most of his hit songs(i.e google them and hit the jackpot straightaway). Now I am not logging in and restoring that plagiarism section again because I dont care. To me, he is another unworthy person enjoying his few minutes of fame like so many others worth not mentioning.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.196.80.8 (talk) 19:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, whosoever you are, please sign your comments by typing four tildas (~~~~). That way, it becomes easy for us also to know who exactly is saying what. After your edits, the plagiarism section, showed a distinct bias against the subject of the article. In Wikipedia, we always write (or try to write) from a totally "neutral point of view" (NPOV). For starters, I don't listen to much of new genre of Hindi film songs. I would rather stick to Rafi, Manna & Kishore. But the matter of fact is, why it is such a hotbed of activity against plagiarism in this article only? Why not Anu Malik, arguably the king of plagiarism in Bollywood, who had the audacity of converting the theme of Godfather to "Raja ko raani se pyar ho gaya"? Or Nadeem-Shravan, whose every single hit is borrowed from Pakistan? Or Bappi Lahiri? Or Anand-Milind and company? Or A. R. Rahman? If all these articles follow a definite style, then we have to follow that style over here too. Also, itwofs.com, it seems, going by the ethnicity of the owner, totally biased against Pritam. So, when Rahman lifts a tune, its merely, "the beats are same, tune is original". But in case of Pritam, "its a pretty neat job of copying" or "Pritam takes plagiarism to another level". I am changing the intro section, in line with the other articles and I believe that if it is reverted back to the present form, then the other articles also needs to be in the same format. Thanks.

message: has anyone been able to establish the original songs for Life in a Metro soundtrack? Given his track record I doubt if they are original?
--
all the songs in Life In a Metro are original, there simply is no song which sounds even vaguely similar to them.

message: This article describes Pritam as a "music composer". But just how much music has Pritam ever composed? It is more accurate to call him a "deejay" or a "re-mixer" since all he does is lift music from elsewhere and repackage it with some indian elements thrown in.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.12.223 (talk) 11:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I have undone a couple of edits from some unknown users, and restored the section on Plagiarism Controversies. This is from a neutral point of view and both sides' views have been conveyed.
If a person wants to put the list of songs which were "suspected" to be plagiarised, then they should be put with a neutral point of view, citing the references to reliable sources and also provide a defence if any.
While it is very evident that Pritam has been "accused" of copyright violation/plagiarism, it would be unfair to put only the other party's views.

replies: text: I have just semi-protected the article for a week due to the section blanking involving this subject. I see that the debate is not a new one. My opinion is that there are reliable sources that mention the plagiarism, but the most of what I see are blog listings. The essential information should be mentioned in the article, but limited to the information contained in reliable sources. I also am not certain that a separate section is needed. I'll make an attempt now, but of course others are free to disagree; I have no special expertise here. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 16:11, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is very biased, just check out this paragraph.
"The year 2012 was a fruitful year for Pritam. With a challenging film like Anurag Basu’s Barfi in his kitty, Pritam proved his worth as a music director where he composed classy songs for this very film, which revolves around a mute protagonist played by the unmatched Ranbir Kapoor, equally supported by the versatile Priyanka Chopra who essays the role of an autistic partner. The soundscape is experimental and songs like ‘Phir Le Aya Dil’, ‘Ala Barfi’, ‘Kya Karoon, Aashiyaan’, ‘Kyon Na Hum Tum’, are rendered like a breath of fresh air. Pritam has also gone a step ahead by composing the background score for this almost silent film, for which he has been deservingly nominated at the awards starting from Screen to Filmfare, 2013. The year 2012, has also witnessed chartbusters like ‘Pungi’ from Agent Vinod, which went on to become a rage followed by the pulsating ‘Tumhi Ho Bandhu’ and ‘Daru Desi’ from the youthful Cocktail. Pritam is known for experimenting successfully with new voices like Zubeen Garg, Neeraj, Mohit Chauhan, Antara Mitra, Mika Singh, Monali Thakur, Ash King, Papon, which continues with the likes of Arijit Singh, Shalmali, Nikhil George in Cocktail and Barfi."
Plus, there's still no mention of his plagiarism, even though valid sources have been provided.--96.26.137.151 (talk) 07:59, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
