two music directors from india were in pakistan a couple of weeks ago, and they admitted in front of the press that bollywood needed pakistani help when it comes to music. the two guys were jatin-lalit (sp??).
they said our music and india's marketing would be a real good combo. i agree 100%.
we would do what we're good at: make EXCEPTIONAL music, and india would do what they're good at: market it internationally.
yea agree wid u thats the reason why strings are on top of the charts these days in india Aaroh has done the song for up coming movie Rakht,fuzon is also working wid a.r rehman so its pretty gud sign.
The Indians will just use our talent and pa** on as theirs. Recently for the film "Paap", Ali Azmat's name was no where to be seen, be it in the film credits or on the soundtrack. They have done this before. We have to be very careful of the Indians because I feel they are just using us.
why r we going thru this again? lol. whose voluntarily going to india to make music, other than adnan sami?? if our talent is asked - they go. simple as that. where do u get off saying 'they all want to go to india and have a ball'??? lol. by saying that, you're insinuating that pakistani musicians are all lined up chomping @ the bit to cross the boarder...and thats clearly not the case.
lets look at some recent facts that prove my view:
did rahat fateh ali khan go job-hunting in india? nope. it was india's pooja bhatt who went out of her way to recruit him, along with ali azmat.
it was india's own jatin,lalit asking for our help (musically), to aid a non-existant pop scene in india, and give new life to a lack-luster and far from original bollywood music scene??
and as for jagjit coming to pakistan and helping out a friend....its the least he could do. ghazal pioneers like medhi ha**an paved the way for a rookie like jagjit.
the problem with most indians is that u guys put way too much stock in bollywood. u have talent in movie-making, but musically, you're hopeless. most of you claim that your 'filmi music' makes up for this. but it speaks volumes when individuals from this very section of bollywood, come to us asking for collaborations.
ar rehman is aching 2 work with fuzon. the two jokers who came a couple of weeks ago, were LITERALLY BEGGING us for our help! pooja bhatt...the list goes on. yeh sab pakistan aye te 4 collaboration. not the other way around. lekin tumhari baat kuch sahi hai - in order to collaborate, you need 2 talents. in this case, pakistan possesses all the talent (musically)!
taking our artists and making money off them?! no problem...its all good...we're virtually doing the same with pirated bollywood movies! LOL. only difference is, our artists see some of the green in india!!
lastly, lets not get political yaar...in regards 2 what u said tho.....NOT AS LONG AS PREZ. MUSHARRAF'S IN TOWN, SON!!
