Not to take away anything from ID or the amazing soundtrack, but nimbuda was shamelessly plagiarised and not credited to the original composer.
*57* *Nimbuda Nimbuda [Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)] <TC>* Composer: Ismail Darbar Inspired by Ghazni Khan Manganiyar's Rajasthani Folk song, 'Nimbuda' Listen to Nimbuda <http://www.itwofs.com/audio/Nimbuda-HDDCS.rm>[Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam] | Nimbuda <http://www.itwofs.com/audio/Nimbuda-Original.rm> [Original] *If you'd like to listen to the full version of the folk song, click here<http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/24/s/album.1671/> (check out 'Nimbuda Nimbuda'!)* Take a look at these 2 (out of many other sites) sites that talk of this song being a lift from a Rajasthani Manganiyar folk song! Diverse Strains<http://www.india-seminar.com/2001/501/501%20shubha%20mudgal.htm>| Sunday Tribune <http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20010128/spectrum/main5.htm> I completely agree with Shuba Mudgal (who has penned the write-up in Diverse Strains) when she asks, *"If we can listen to a folk song in a blockbuster movie, why can we not give an occasional patient hearing to the original?*" Ismail Darbar had a wonderful chance to handle this in the right way, but I wonder why he messed it up and ended with a 'plagiarist' tag - that too in his much-celebrated debut. All he had to do was to add a note of credit to the original composer of the song, Rajasthani folk singer Ghazni Khan Manganiyar, so that people can differentiate between the original and the Bollywood version - when you listen to the two you'd understand the kind of work that Ismail has put in, in his version and made a simple, 'otherwise-restricted-to-a-few-discerning-listeners' track into an ultra-catchy dance number! Its a pity that decided to pass it as his original composition. http://www.itwofs.com/hindi-others.html On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 10:23 AM, V S Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 9/28/2009 11:19 AM India Time, _Jesheem Mohamed_ wrote: > > > It definitely is a wonderful soundtrack and that too for a debut album. > > Indeed.
