Munni Badnaam Huyi! Indeed!

According to Manoj Tiwari, Tarabanoji had composed the original song more than 12 years ago and had passed away unsung. He wants her family to get their dues.

Tiwari had earlier raised the issue before Dabangg was released. He says, "When I heard Munni Badnaam Hui, I knew it was a rehash of the old popular number Launda Badnaam Huaby by Tarabano.
I don't know why Jatin Pandit claims to have composed it. I took it up with Arbaaz Sir. He shut me up accusing me of creating trouble for his film."

Manoj admits to have deputed a man to track down Tarabano’s family. He plans to take the help of T-Series to get them their due compensation.

 

Interesting! I wish Manoj Tiwari all the best.

Arbaaz Khan has recently given a lakh and a half rupees to the family of Tarabano Ji- and he has done it sans any publicity!!

Salman is known for the generosity of his heart and now it seems that it is a trait that the entire family can boast of. Arbaaz was moved by the poor conditions in which Tarabano alias Razia’s family was living in and invited them down to Mumbai in the New Year. When the family arrived in Mumbai on January 9, 2011, Arbaaz personally handed over a cheque of Rs 1.5 lakhs to them. Arbaaz was very careful that the gesture received no media coverage and did not even allow a single photograph to be taken.
:bowdown

 

Wow! That is a very nice gesture from Arbaaz Khan:bowdown! That fact that the money was paid in the absence of any legal pressure or pressure of any other kind only adds to the enormity of the gesture from Arbaaz:bowdown. The general trend of Bollywood is to respond to any plagiarism by simply shrugging it off – this effort of Arbaaz will thus go a long way in ensuring that “munni” does not stay “badnaam” forever.:clap

Any media publicity of this act could open the floodgates for other claimants who might plan to make a grab for cash too.:evil:

Arbaaz, however, still maintains that he did not owe anybody anything for the song since “munni” was originally a folk tune that did not belong to anyone.:|:8)Bow

 

that was very nice of Arbaaz....kudos to the family who are so generous at heart :thumbsup
