Not just the music stalwarts, the internet has also called out the makers for remixing yet another classic. The filmmakers have lost confidence in creating new songs.” Music director Rajesh Roshan has also shared his objection and said, “I think there is less of inspiration and more of perspiration in the music industry. No one seeks our consent before using our songs.
To rip them off in this arbitrary manner is not correct.” Her sister and Bharat Ratna recipient Lata Mangeshkar also added in the report, “We are not asked if we approve or not. Usha, who sang the original version, told Deccan Chronicle in a report, “Our songs were created after a great deal of thought and they were done with sensitivity and care. However, the original creators of the song aren’t pleased by the new version and claim to have not been consulted regarding the same.
Originally sung by Usha Mangeshkar with music by Rajesh Roshan and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, the song has been recreated by singers Jyotica Tangri, Shaan and Subhro Ganguly and music director duo Gourov-Roshin. The song features Sonakshi, who has danced to the tune of the hit 1978 Inkaar number, originally picturised on Helen. What can I do, except quietly smile about it.Actor Sonakshi Sinha and the makers of Total Dhamaal are facing flak over the dance number Mungda, which has been recreated for the multi-starrer. Then why do it? Why repeatedly resort to this kind of inappropriate conduct?” he asks, adding, “Earlier, my Yaarana chartbuster Saara zamaana haseeno ka deewana was also remixed without my permission. Indra Kumar has gone on record to say his version of Mungda in Total Dhamaal cannot be compared with the original. Music companies are selling our songs to producers at throwaway prices.
We have no legal control over our compositions. Recently in an interview, music composer Rajesh Roshan expressed disappointment with the remix of his classic hit Mungda in producer Indra Kumar’s film Total Dhamaal. However, music producers nowadays prefer to purchase the rights from audio companies who do not consider music composers while making the deal. All one needs to do is buy a mechanical licence and apply for the song.
