Pritam, the disgraceful one | 2008-06-30
The Bitch exposes the shameless musical blunder
Think of Bappi Lahiri or Anu Malik and what immediately strikes your mind apart from their ghastly get ups, is them being the shameless copycats of the Indian Music Industry. But now making these two appear as mere chindi- chors, a new mahachor has emerged out. The Bitch doesn‘t expect you to be an Einstein to guess his name!
It is Pritam Chakraborty. The same baal ki dukaan fella to whom you feel like offering Rs. 20 to go and get a decent hair cut and a shave from a roadside barber. What has set him apart from his predecessors is that while they would rob just popular Western numbers, he has managed a global syndicate! His robberies include Indonesian, Korean, French, Arabic and even African music. His motto seems - Rob Global Deliver Local! But now having suffered enough, The Bitch has now decided to rip apart the great ripper himself!
The Bitch was wondering how could a mahachor like Pritam roam around scot-free and keep multiplying his projects with top production houses? Agreed ripping a song or two is okay as per Bollywood rules; because Bollywood Music Industry does have an undeclared Copyright Law...yeah it is the ‘Right To Copy‘. But making an entire film album with each song being a direct lift from various international hits and shamelessly denying this by terming it just as mere inspiration is extremely disgusting.
It used to be unintentionally hilarious watching this barber‘s delight mentoring his singers on Star Plus‘s singing reality show for kids, ‘Chotte Ustaad‘. Forever indulging in showcasing his gyaan about music he would conveniently forget that if he really possessed as much creativity in music, then he wouldn‘t be copying tunes left right centre! Now we are going to suffer him even more as he has jumped (for more moolah of course) from STAR to Zee for the new season of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa‘. If one Himesh Reshammiya there wasn‘t enough, we have to bear this BEAR on this show!
Pritam is to the Indian music industry what Sanjay Gupta is to the film industry. A completely unoriginal jackass with zero creative brain!
Pritam who started his career with a Bangla rock band called ‘Chandrabindu‘ possesses not an iota of shame when confronted about his lifting business. Defending his music he states, "Sometimes I even get inspired by the groove my keyboard player friend plays. There is no harm in getting inspired from songs and the kind of music that‘s not commonly heard here in India."
Yeah, loser we know how lazy a person you are to make fresh tunes. You don‘t even feel like using a comb; forget a razor to manage that natural forest you have grown all over your body.
Just check how the laziness personified flicked one of his biggest hit songs - Pehli Nazar Mein from ‘Race‘, note by note from a beautiful Korean melody -
Similar lethargy was shown by this hairy scum for one his last year‘s biggest hit number ‘Hare Ram Hare Ram‘ for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa‘. Again a tune robbed from a Korean number -
If you thought his numbers from ‘Life In A Metro‘ got him deserving critical acclaim for original beautiful tunes finally, then hold on...almost each single number from the film was a copy. One example is here -Baatein Kuch Ankahee Sifrom ‘Life In a Metro‘. Check its original version -
Pritam was recently in a soup when the tables were turned on him by his own producers. The makers of ‘Bhram‘ (yeah, the same film that can be called a substitute for a furniture store what with wooden actors like Milind Soman, Dino Morea and Sheetal Menon). In order to make their total thanda film garam, they spread news through their PRs that Pritam had copied a Bangla tune belonging to the late Gautam Chatterjee for one of their songs in the film. The Bitch was laughing her heart out watching an agitated Pritam running pillar to post calling up every journo right from ‘Punjab Kesari‘ to TOI convincing how he was being made a scapegoat for the film‘s publicity. He was livid that the makers had cheated him after he had officially purchased the rights of the late legendary Bangla musician‘s song.
Pritam, agreed you had officially purchased rights for this particular number, but then why the hell do you not make any original music? Looking at your meteoric rise just by plagiarizing tunes, even The Bitch feels she can turn a music director!
You make it appear such an easy thing. Step 1 -Assemble a group of talented musicians. Pay them pittance claiming you are using them for big projects. Step 2 - Spend most of the time hearing foreign tunes and then converting them to suite the Bollywood style. Step 3 - If that‘s not working, then yeah like you said above, get your musicians to play anything they want and rob even those poor souls of their tunes. Step 4 - When caught red handed smile sheepishly and admit it was just a little inspiration!
The Bitch takes a look at how he has successfully managed to fool not just his films‘ makers but the music lovers too. The list is long and is ever growing...perhaps in a few months time it will outnumber the bad hair on his head and face!
The Cheater Cock exposed further more -
Mahesh Bhatt‘s ‘Woh Lamhe‘, the public display of his romance with the late Parveen Babi on celluloid, had only one good thing about the film we thought, the number ‘Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai‘. But we were only heart broken to realize that it was originally an Indonesian song. Must say, South East Asia inspires Pritam a great deal!
The racy ‘Chorri Ki Baatein‘ from ‘Fight Club‘ too was a copy. But this time Pritam didn‘t travel too far and copied it from a hit number across the border, from our loving neighbours Pakistan. Check the original Pakistani version by Ali Zafar -
We can just say, stop Mr. Shameless, before it‘s just too late.

Buddy if the music is good, it gets across the globe. Remeber hits like Macarena, Ketchup Song. Do you understand what they are saying? NO! But you love hearing it cause the music is catchy, would you like to hear a copy of these songs? Won‘t that be interesting....on 2nd thought I think Anu Malik already ripped off Macarena. | Rohit
