Neat research!!

I always used to tell my wife, whenever she watches the Colors TV serial “Na Bole tum Na Maine kuch kaha” that this tune reminds me of Die Hard 3 score.

So I was always wondering where the original tune came from because it seemed unlikely that a Hollywood movie got “inspired” by a Hindi movie from the 70s.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hey Devanshanu,
In addition to your post I was wondering, Almost certainly the most immensely important technical part of virtually every page is the headline or title. The headline is your software in grabbing the attention of audience. Your write-up can make enormous website visitors for your word wide web sites offered that it is remaining read through by website surfers. So the predominant reason of your headline is to get that targeted traffic and appeal to women and men to browse your blog post.
Wishes

I do not even understand how I ended up here, but I assumed this publish was good. I don’t realize who you might be but certainly you are going to a famous blogger in the event you aren’t already. Cheers!

This tune has been lifted by some composer who fit the tune to words of a popular christian worship song (like bhajan) although with a slower tempo. it is jeevane en jeevane namo namo.
Very enterprising to say the least. there are number of similar cases where Tunes of Boney M numbers like Rasputin has been cleverly used. These were more popular among the evangelical and pentecostal churches of Kerala in the 80-s and remain in circulation even today.

That is strange, but cool. Sometimes I wish Rushdie channeled his talents better, but then I think we’d lose a lot of what makes him Rushdie. I’m glad he channeled it all at least once, in Midnight’s Children.

It’s like I looked in the mirror and saw you. To make it sound a little less creepy, what your wrote about Rushdie echoes my opinions so closely that it is truly uncanny. Ask my mother/father/husband who have had to listen to me.

Hi Devanshu, I’m writing a thesis paper on India and the Beatles, saw your video on youtube, and wanted to know if you could help me. Would it be possible for me to send over a questionnaire, the answers to which I could include in my paper. I’ve found several books and articles online but not many resource people to help me out. Let me know. Thanks!

Finding this link was awesome.
I am not a big action movie fan, but my husband insisted I watch Die Hard: With a Vengeance and said I would like it. I did. But the music reminded me of the song baton baton mein.
So I immediately got online to find out which sound track was original and found out about the Irish song you mentioned.
And then I read the exact same story on this blog. Except that my search didn’t even take 11 minutes, thanks to the internet.

I really like these! It’s cheating that they took you so little time!

No pressure sensitivity, but “size of touch” sensitive. So you can try to draw with the tip of your finger, or fat fingers, with different effects. I’ll post more of what i’ve done here soon. But more than anything else, it’s a lot of fun to freestyle. The power of undo, erase and zero setup overhead is extraordinary.
