Indian ripoff of Pakistani songs continues...

[What_tha]

Indian movies take the pakistani song to a high level,they are not recognized till they stay with Pakistan

 

[Awesome]

Keep telling that to yourself, the Indian versions are most horrible.

[Awesome]

I'm mocking it, not listening to it, know the difference?

 

[Skies]

Ali more angana daras dikha

Indian or Pakistani song?

 

[aristocrat]

Its sad .I like the song "boro boro" in bluffmaster where the actual singer performs in the movie as well,if not screen time the original artist should at least be given the credit

 

[T-Faz]

Here comes another classic.

Original:

Copy:

 

[aristocrat]

hey in so many posts people are blaming the singers,actually the copycats are the music directors who want to make a quick buck or two[in cases where there is difference between the two]

 

[Spitfighter]

I'm mocking it, not listening to it, know the difference?

How come tens of millions of Pakistanis watch Hindi movies? or better yet why does 'lollywood' try and emulate our movie industry?

There might be a rip off or two, but can you deny that your entire movie industry looks to ours for 'inspiration'? How about a thread or two on that...

 

[T-Faz]

LOLLYWOOD ORIGINAL BOLLYWOOD COPY

Besides the point.

Your movie industry is essentially based off of ours. Your songs, story lines, you name it is 'inspired' () by our movie industry. So we copied a couple, big whoop. We produce a 100 times as many movies in a week than are in that list.

Bollywood is wildly popular among Pakistanis. I've never not seen a Pakistani family at the theater, neither here nor in Dubai. Copy or no copy Pakistanis will end up watching our version anyway.

Why do you think that is boss?

So inspirations are copied by the 'inspirer' itself, very dumbfounded argument. Did you copyright songs, story lines that occur and happen all over the world. Next you are going to say that you people started breathing because of us.

Bollywood is wildly popular among Pakistanis. I've never not seen a Pakistani family at the theater, neither here nor in Dubai. Copy or no copy Pakistanis will end up watching our version anyway.

No one here stated Bollywood is not popular among Pakistani's. But you should be aware that many Pakistani's of my generation do not watch Bollywood films. It is a growing trend and though some people will watch them. It is not as if the whole country is 'wild' about it.

Also I do not understand what a Pakistani family at a theatre has got to with this. Regarding the watching your version part, I haven't seen an Indian film in the last five years, who says we are going to watch any version.

PS, these handful copied films you speak of are superhits, check the names and then ponder about what you call classic films are mere copies. Some very big names that even I am familiar with. Infact some of the biggest hits your country might have had are on the list.

Did you ever notice how your movies are strikingly similar to ours and not to say, Iran's?

Coincidence?

Lollywood might have produced a few interesting movies that we looked into, but by and large it is just a cheap rip off of our industry. Disputing this will be an exercise in futility.

No one here stated Bollywood is not popular among Pakistani's. But you should be aware that many Pakistani's of my generation do not watch Bollywood films. It is a growing trend and though some people will watch them. It is not as if the whole country is 'wild' about it.

Its more than a 'growing trend'. I hope you mean a majority by 'some' since most Pakistanis watch Hindi movies. Your generation might not have been too crazy about 'em, but that just leads me assume that you're really old.

Also I do not understand what a Pakistani family at a theatre has got to with this. Regarding the watching your version part, I haven't seen an Indian film in the last five years, who says we are going to watch any version.

The point I'm making is that Pakistanis are all over our biznatch. Do you really want me to believe that any of this surprises you? Indian influence and culture is all OVER Pakistan.

Ayesha Akram-Nasir
Special to the Star

LAHORE, Pakistan–Sana Khan is engrossed in preparing for her wedding, planned for mid-December.
She's made the rounds of most designer shops in Lahore, checked out the city's jewellers and has begun a regimen of soothing facials and body massages, guaranteed to make her glow on the big day.
But Khan, 26, who works as an advertising executive and earns about $650 per month, still has to do the most important part of her bridal shopping – a trip to India.
"I am planning to buy at least 50 per cent of my dowry from Delhi and Jaipur," she said, giggling with joy at the prospect of a shopping spree in India. "I may even order my bridal there."
Humaira Khawaja, 27, whose brother recently got married in Lahore, has a word of advice for Khan: one trip may not be enough, since she made three trips to India before her brother's wedding.
"All our clothes came from India," said Khawaja, who works with her father at his carpet factory. "All the clothes we gave the bride were Indian, her jewellery came from India and all of our clothes – meaning my sister, nieces, mother – also came from India."
Her reason for preferring merchandise from across the border is simple: "Their workmanship and design elements are so much better than ours. We are nowhere close to them," she said.
At a time when relations between India and Pakistan have once again soured – with both sides blaming each other for recent terrorist attacks – the Bollywood-ization of Pakistan is continuing at full throttle.
"The effect of Indian society on our culture is undeniable and it's constantly increasing," said Amjad Islam Amjad, a cultural commentator based in Lahore.
"We're so much in awe of them that in every aspect of our culture we bow down to them, whether it's imitating their clothes or dances."
While Indian traditions are peacefully taking over Pakistani culture, the two countries have shared a hostile past. Since the split of 1947, when the British raj dismantled its empire, the neighbours have shared a troubled history. For many years they've remained archrivals and have fought two wars – in 1961 and 1975.
This was followed by the bitter Kargil offensive in 1999 in the ongoing dispute over Kashmir.
"The Kargil offensive completely ruptured relationships between Pakistan and India," said Rasool Baksh Raees, a political analyst and professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences.
"It has taken us years to mend the situation and the wounds are still fresh."
Since 1999, numerous joint initiatives have taken place including bus travel, cricket matches, joint productions in movies and fashion shows of designers from both countries. All these moves led to an acceleration of the Bollywood-ization of Pakistan.
"Their culture is more developed, stronger and more powerful than ours," said Amjad. "Also, they've marketed themselves so well that it's easy for us to believe they are better."
In Pakistani cinemas, Indian films draw huge audiences while the majority of local productions play to empty or half-filled houses. Bollywood celebrities are so popular in Pakistan, event managers prefer booking Indian actors and models to Pakistani celebrities – even if it means paying them 10 times the price of a local entertainer.
At street stalls, vendors market glass bangles by naming them after popular Indian television shows.
Hajra Hayat, a fashion designer, recently became convinced of the Bollywood-ization of Pakistan when she attended a Holi function during a friend's wedding. Holi is an Indian festival where attendees throw coloured powder.
Recently, the Pakistani elite have begun celebrating Holis as part of their wedding extravaganzas.
"We're definitely awestruck by the Indians, more so now than before, which is a testament to the great job their media is doing in marketing their culture," said Hayat.
"I sometimes get brides asking for an outfit to be made in the same colours as the ones that Ashwariya Rai or Kareena Kapoor wore in a certain Indian film. I never get requests from a bride inspired by a Pakistani actress."
Cultural expert and short-story writer Afra Bukhari says Pakistanis are eager to imitate the Indians because they are progressing at a faster rate than us.
"Their economy is doing better than ours, their political situation is more stable than ours and they are held in greater esteem by the rest of the world," said Bukhari. "We believe imitating them would help us do better too."
But event manager Ayesha Meezan says sometimes the urge to imitate goes too far.
"We often get couples eager to get the Devdas look for their weddings (Devdas is a popular Indian film based on an epic tale of love)," she said. "They're not even willing to consider a theme more indigenous to Pakistan."
But Khan has turned a blind eye to politics and tradition.
"Whatever is going on between the two countries won't affect my decision to go to India to shop, and neither should it."

I can't even believe I had to take the time to post this article. This is a well known fact, we know it, you know it, lollywood is simply one example.

And what's this about dowry in Pakistan?
