Poor Pritam Chakraborty. The home medium just doesn't seem to like him, or his music. A few weeks ago on Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayee Roshni on Star Plus Pritam was
mercilessly satirized when the film's aspiring singer-heroine went to meet a music director with hair falling into his face.
A sure caricature of Pritam!
And now on Star's music contest Voice Of India, Pritam is exposed like never before. When a contestant Arindam Chakraborty sang Bheegi bheegi... Hamari
adhuri kahani from Gangster Pritam was praised for his composition by one of the judges. To this, the contestant who was from Kolkata volunteered that the tune was
originally composed by Gautam Chattopadhyay.
Judge Alka Yagnik stopped the contestant to say the contestant should restrict himself to singing his song and not comment on other matters.
But Aadesh intervened and supported the boy.
"Why should people who openly copy songs not be exposed on television? It's so wrong to lift someone else's tune and pass it off as your own specially since the artiste
Gautam Chattopadhyay who composed the original song is no more. At least let's respect the dead," says Aadesh angrily.
