Roshans caught in plagiarism.




Bollywood music directors have recently been involved in plagiarism scandals. Thanks to a wesite called itwofs.com, the tunes which the indian music directors are inspired from or lift in their works are mentioned. There were quite a few names such as Pritam, Anu Malik, etc who were even interviewed in a TV news channel regarding this plagiarism issue. The latest to join the list is Rajesh Roshan. The latest film Krazzy 4, which has been among the talks is why the Roshans are involved in plagiarism scandal. A song in the movie called "Break Free" is reported to be a direct lift of Ram Sampath's music for the Thump ad for Sony Ericcson. Ram Sampath found this out when he first listened to the song in a music channel. Ram Sampath has allegedly filed a case against Rakesh Roshan, the producer of the movie and Rajesh Roshan, the music director of the movie. Ram says that the music director blatantly has used his tune without even mentioning his name in the credits. Ram demands a compensation of about 2 Crores from the Roshans. Roshans however defend themselves by saying that they hadn't done anything intentionally. Interestingly for both the videos another member of the Roshan family i.e Hrithik has lent his dance performance. Will this put an end to plagiarism or will plagiarism still find its excuses?? Lets wait and watch.

Stay tuned for more updates!!!
