success of a song - Page 3

Hmmm, balance seems to be shifted against Aamir here

 

Lets see

more than half the songs these days have

a.Either horrible lyrics(dhan te dan..............., remember?)

b.OR tunes that have been lifted

 

But if it is a hot actor/actress even "mai to raste se jaa raha tha" will become famous

 

so yes the actor should get equal or most credit

 

If this was the age of Sahir, then the lyricists or the singer or the Music director had most of the credit. Now times have changed

 

But Javed Akhtar and his batchmates are not even a 1% of Sahir's capabilities

Amir Khan is quoted to have said that it is the actor on whom the success of a song depends. many lyricists like javed akhtar, kailash kher and many others are opposed to this & are angry at his statement . Some lyricists are also demanding royalty as they feel that many famous lyricist have died in penury inspite of their songs bein chartbusters. What is your view  about this issue.
