  Ever noticed 'Punnagai mannan' theme music is similar to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" song.
  Check it out at http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Birdland/8127/sweetcar.mid

  The gundu gundu song in DHOOL looks like a mixture of many songs of AQUA " Barbie Girl" It is so disappointing to see that even the picturisation has been copied from many songs of the group's album's. I wonder what was goin' thru the director's and MD's mind when they did this.......
  
  VS looks so inconsistent and spoils his reputation (the some that he has got) by lifting stuff blatantly....

  I read in Kumudam or AV that one song in Bala sounds close to ARR's uyire song.
  
  Ya that "Kanne" song from bala is out and put modification of "En uyire " song from uyire. I heard that only in TV promos...
  
  Listen to that part "Kangal thaandi pogaadhe en aaruyire" of original....you can find out the cool inspiration...
  
  Also in the same film YSR was proved to have reworked on one of his dad's song from a hindi film Mahadev. But I found the reworked one quite cool. If some one does the good work of reworking on old IR songs and making it presentable to this generation then it will be good.
  
  By any way these two are clear case of copying/inspiration..nevertheless.

  was just thinking about the evergreen "Naaney naana yaarodhaana" song sounding suspiciously similar to our good old Doordharshan's "Vayalum vaazhvum" title music... and came across this link which states "both were composed by Ilayaraja"... can u believe it? (well... i just cannot...!!!)

  Anbe Sivam Title track is a lift from Simon & Garfunkel's album and this song is also featured in the movie "The Graduate". Listen here the sample

  "ananda vikatan" has mentioned in its recent issue that the song which features Ramya krishnan in the movie "kaakka kaakka" is a straight lift from some Madonna song (and that too, the song is just being picturised..!!!). wonder who the MD is.

  Good to see HJ spreading his wings...How long can he only copy ARR..He is not doing much of the movies..so HJ made a great decision to go INTERNATIONAL.

  The song "Aadaadha aattam ellam" from Mounam Pesiyadhe is very close in reminding Chandra bose's song...
  "punchittuk kurivigala pudhuvettuth tharuvigala"
  
  The tune of "paadaththan poren paattu" and its continuation is what I am talking about.

  I happened to see that Vikatan article too. Going by the pictures of Ramya Krishnan in the same page, it looks like the makers are copying the video of the Madonna song 'Die another day' from the Bond movie...with Madonna in electric chair et all. I think Vikatan is talking about the lift of the video idea only, not the song.

  In Kadhal Virus there is a sequence which was a direct lift from Copy King Anumalik's "Yaadein". If you closely listen to that piece it goes Yaadein Yaadein and the end there is a little change. So now ARR lifting tunes from Anu Malik or both lifted from a common source.

  First time noticed the song "Vanthen Vanthen" from "Pancha Thanthiram"-(seen the song so many times for the versatile Simran!!!).the charanams are directly lifted from MSV-MGR combo
  
  "Meenavan Nanban" -Pattathu Rajavum Pattala sippayum

  Karthik - this one for you. The song "Paatukku Paatu" from the new film Vetri(MD - HJ) sounds very close to Carribean Queen by Billy Ocean. Not an exact copy. But very similar in style and yeah the rythm.

  The melidious number Poi solla kudathu kadhalhi in the move RUN always gave me deja-vu, already heard it feeling. I was listening to old sivaji songs today, and I nailed the song, where it inspired from. The song is manidhan ninapadhundu valvu nillakum enru. May be both belong to the same raga, but it is inspired for sure!.

  guys, i am new to this forum. but i would like to make a point here that the rhythm for a song can be the same and can be used by the MD's for a suitable tune. It cannot be called as copying. I do agree that songs like Darling,darling in priya, alli alli anarkali song from arunachalam are songs which are straight lifts.
  
  I hope some of the friends will agree with me.

  Darling darling is a copy from which song?

  'Nilavai kondu vaa kattilil katti vai' song from Vaali (MD is Deva) is lift from a MichaelJackson number
  'All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us'.
  'Salomiyaa' (MD is Deva again!!!)song from film Kann edire thonrinaal is a copy of 'En anbe ' song from film Thulladamanamum thullum

  mythila:
  
  You are too innocent. Both were absolute copy of Junoon(a pakisthan band) number - "Saiyonee".
  
  Both the MD SR and DEva copied the song at the same time with out knowing that they are not the only one to do that.
  
  One more incident of two MDs copying a same song at almost same period is
  "Thottabetta rotu mela, mutta barotta" - Deva
  and
  "Coimbatore mappilaikku ponnu koduththa" - VS
  
  Original song is I think "Akhiyaan milai kabhi...", which, I latter learnt that is a copy of a song called "Come September" (I have not heard this song but..).
  
  
• From: mythila (@ 137.237.12.102) on: Wed Feb 19 14:12:46 EST 2003
  
  'Come September' has been copied by 3 MDs at various times IMO.
  1. by Rammurthy(MSV+Rammurthy) film??
  song is 'Vandaai ennodu inge vaa thenrale' sung by LRE.
  2. Nazare mile from HF Raja (MadhuriDixit's dance number)
  3. from AmirKhan**er Baazi (MD AnuMalik??

  Hi All,
  
  'Theendi Theendi" from the film "BALA" has been lifted from the hindi film "MAHADEV" released in 1989. Music for former by YSR and later by IR. YSR has copied from his illustrious father.
  
  'Minmini Parvaigal' from the film Julie Ganapathy resembles more like "POOTUKUL" song from the film "CHATRIYAN".
  
  'THANI KONJUM' from the JG is almost like the slow version of "ASAI ADHIGAM" from "MARUPADIYUM".
  
  Will post more such similarities in the near future.

  Rags :
  
  So ineffect what you are saying is JG is just a remix album. No wonder when the whole film is a remake of some english film.
  
  'The story of this film came as an episode in the famous Star Plus serial "BEST SELLERS" some two ears before.
