E.g., a 'prince' who overthrows his own father to occupy the throne
by force is universally viewed in a much more damning light than
one who mounts an attack on another king sans casus belli.
So you are comparing Aurangzeb to Dubya? I can just hear Aurangzeb saying "I am
a bigger posterior orifice than you are" and Dubya saying "Bring it on".
Stealing may be the norm in the industry, but stealing (if indeed
that was done) from one's own son is still something hard to
digest.
I repeat---we have no idea what RD had composed and hence we have no idea what
SDB "stole".
I don't even think the word "stealing" is appropriate here. Various articles
have written that SDB heard RDB humming/whistling a tune and RD was surprised to
see it as a song in Funtoosh. I would be hard pressed to believe RD was humming/whistling the prelude-mukhdaa-interlude(s)-antara-coda of "Ai meri topi
palat ke aa".
As for the treatement meted out by a parent to their child, Majrooh has himself
said, when RD was the assistant, SD was tougher on him than he was on Jaidev.
SDB didn't want to show any leniency to RD on account of his being the son. He
is not the first person to do that nor will he be the last. This is a universal
thing and something that has been featured even in Archie comics--Chuck and
Coach Clayton.
As regards my quiz:
I had in mind Roshan taking permission from SDB for "Rahen na rahen hum" and
S-E-L taking permission for Pretty Woman. Why Roshan had to take permission for
the Mamta song and not the Chandni Chowk song is something that perplexes me. I
had no idea SDB had taken permission for the Buzdil song and had forgotten that
Roshan took permission for the Barsaat ki Raat qawalli.
As for acknowledgements--my question was misworded. I had the MM-Sajjad episode
in mind but MM did not acknowledge it till he was confronted. The only other
instance I can think of is RD saying in an interview that he had based "Saagar
Kinare" on "Thandi Hawayen" and "Rahen na rahen hum". Why he didn't acknowledge
this for the Naram Garam song which was composed before Saagar is another thing
that perplexes me.

Dear Ketan - the song 'saagar kinaare .....' from 'saagar' is a ditto copy of madan mohan's song ' yehi hai tamanna , tere ghar ke saamne , meri jaan jaaye' ... sung by Rafi . listen to both songs and you'll at once believe this . ..... WELL WISHER
AKHTAR ALI .
And yehi hai tamanna is a dito copy of s d burman's thandi hawayein
Please please please dont call asha bhosle wife of RD and Meera Dev Burman's Bahu, its an insult to the whole burman family.
Meera ji had said this marraige can happen over her dead body..... Here is the reality
RD Burman Asha Bhosle marriage is one of many "cooked up" stories of bollywood.
Till date no marriage certificate or photos have been found, as a result courts hv refused to give legal rights to bhosle of rd's last residence Maryland.
Insiders say Asha, Lata forced rd to marry her, else they wld stop singing for him, a got up marriage was set up, camera flashes were there but in reality no photo was ever taken and ofcourse no marraige
One shld know Meera DevBurman, mother of rd said you can marry Asha over my dead body., soon she was brain damaged and this marriage facade took place around 1980.
Who wld willingly marry a person who ran away at 16 to hv a marraige, produce 3 kids, then for 14 yrs in relation with another person (o p nayyer), ruining his family life, then found rising music director, 6 yrs younger to her, RD to climb up the ladder
When rd went to england for open heart surgery in late 1980's he went alone, where was this so called wife, can any normal person be so cruel, let alone a wife
Worse is yet to come....
After RD's death, Asha bhosle secretly sent old widow suffering from alzhimer's to a far off oldage home in order to enjoy the whole house of RD by the Bhosles.
But destiny has its own way, Tripura govt decided to felicitate Meera Dev Burman, wife of SD, belonging to the Royal family of Tripura. So they found her out, soon media came to know and bhosle had to bring back Meera ji to her own house, she was in a
state of comma.
Ppl must think before blindly praising the mangeshkar sisters, they may be good singer not g
