Questions Bappi Lahiri did not answer

Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:23 IST)
And, btw, Mr Lahiri, my first question was why are you not doing films NOW? are you keeping yourself away for personal reasons?


Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:24 IST)
Mr Lahiri, a non-music question to you... considering the near breakdown in Mumbai's civic services, what is it you that the city needs desperately? Tell me one thing you believe will improve the quality of life in the city..


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:25 IST)
Hmmm, okay..hey where's that guy who sang all the dance dance music? I am sorry, but i confused him with vinod rathod in my earlier question


Anu Malik (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:26 IST)
Arre yaar, Bappi, aap idhar aaya kya? I have also entertained rediff readers earlier... Twice.. *pruning* but then, i am a more successful director than you...


Tigerr (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:30 IST)
Mr lehri arnt you Bollywood people Disgusted with what Salman and the gang have done in Rajastan - i think if he is guilty salman or who ever should be licked up for a year. Whats your opnion


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:30 IST)
Mr Lahiri, what about the guy who sang those Dance Dance songs? you used him extensively. And Alisha is a popular POP singer. She is no where on the film scenaria.. And what about runa laila? And, your claim of working with Kishored and Mangeshkar - well, that's but natural. There are many who can claim that. By the way, that Tarzan number was a sexy one.. you really made good use of Alisha there... how did you first spot her?


sumeetr (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:30 IST)
Bappi .... why the hell people say that you steal music? Atleast you are stealing so many heart s with it. Tell me which album of yours you like the most?


Anu Malik (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:31 IST)
Arre yaar, tum log alisha ki baat kar rahe.. don't talk about her, i don't like her one bit...


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:31 IST)
But Bhappida what about the feelings the original composer would have? Have you ever met one of them after the 'inspirational' bout? How have they reacted to it?


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:32 IST)
And, Mr Lahiri, you must agree that your career ZOOMED with Alisha and the other-guy-I-was-saying.. not kishore and lata


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:32 IST)
Shame on you, Anu, you tried your dirty tricks on that poor girl and now you don't like her! Fie, fie!! (Translation, since I am sure you won't understand that: Shame, shame!)


sumeetr (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:34 IST)
what is your pointof achievement in life?


Anu Malik (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:34 IST)
Nandini, yaar, I didn't try any tricks with her. I love my wife, I love my wife lots.


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:34 IST)
Sai, may I join in? Bappida> Is Dance Dance original?


Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:34 IST)

Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:35 IST)
Nandini *bowing* my pleasure... the floor is all yours


Tigerr (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:35 IST)
Bappi are u going to comment on the Salman issue - or is it too controvercial - YOU MUST own to your peers responsibility


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:35 IST)
By the way, Bappida what on earth made you record that album with Mandakini? Weren't you trying to utilise her oomph to sellyour cassettes?


amar (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:36 IST)
Tell me Mr. Lahiri , what is your favourite song out of all your songs?


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:36 IST)
Sai> I like a gentleman when I see one! *s*


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:36 IST)
Bhappiji, the fact that you are counting your original songs means that you have a lot of the 'otherwise'


Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:37 IST)
Mr Lahiri, is it true that you were also a victim of gangland extortion? did you pay out?


Anu Malik (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:37 IST)
Nandini, that is very true. That Mandakini female was very grating on ears. Unlike Alisha and all the others Bappi here roped in, this one was, well, horrendous. Whatever made you go for, Bappi? Were you mad or something?


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:39 IST)
Sai suresh, my dear I think you are confusing this chat with an interview where the others are a mere audience. Boss, you are supposed to write, and not to conduct


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:39 IST)
Sai, I must say that Mr Lahiri thinks quite a bit of himself! *s*


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:40 IST)
sai, there's some chor here who doesn't like you.. and, man, he doesn't know better than to shout in a chat room.. and that too with a guest on!


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:41 IST)
*sulk* Mr Lahiri, i think I will go to sleep now. I am a fan of yours, but you don't answer my queries! *sulk*


Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:41 IST)
thank you dhun chor


Saisuresh Sivaswamy (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:42 IST)
Nandini... yeah, Mr Lahiri doesnt realise quality when he sees it


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:44 IST)
Madam NADANI, Think you are not accustomed to the Net-freedom of speech. Anyway, is hitting madly at the keyboard your idea of a a chat?


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:45 IST)
Madam NADANI, Think you are not accustomed to the Net-freedom of speech. Anyway, is hitting madly at the keyboard your idea of a a chat?


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:46 IST)
please answer :)


Nandini (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:46 IST)
Chor, sir, I know about Net and the freedom of speech. But have you ever heard of manners? I mean, the basic stuff we all need to have?


Dhun Chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:50 IST)
C'mon Nadani, chors dont have any manners, by the way, I like your native GUSSA


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:51 IST)
There are lots of good singers, Mr. Lahiri. He just got lucky with N-S, and Anu Malik (namly Baazigar) adn now he is in the "cool" status. My Q to u as a MD is that is he talented enuf to be no.1??


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:53 IST)
You are talented, no doubt. I am not a critic of ur music...I know you have survived for almsot 3 decades. :) Just curious...on the issue at hand...


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:54 IST)
Yes. I agree...


dhun chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:54 IST)
Mr Bappi, It is possible to reign for not 26, but even 62 years stealing tunes in this land with no copyright laws. In other places one would have spent those years fighting cases of violation Jai Bharat


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:57 IST)
I see...thanks for clearing that up


dhun chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:57 IST)


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:58 IST)
By the way (in the north anyway) you are no longer in the race...unless you produce a VERY popular number...ask anyone on the streets...for the top 5 MD's. u will almost never be named


rakeshs (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:58 IST)
Nice chatting with you Mr Lahiri and Good Luck


Marmelade (Wed Oct 14 1998 9:59 IST)
Is the chat over?


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:3 IST)
I will look foward to that.


dhun chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:4 IST)
Bappy Whats your real name? Im sure like your music BL is not the original. PLEASE enlighten ALL of us


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:6 IST)
thanks


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:7 IST)
I'll try to get it ;-)


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:8 IST)
But I ment...do u like ARR's music? Titanic??


dhun chor (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:9 IST)
Come on bhappi, you are a far cry from AR Rehman, please dont comment on him


bunty (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:10 IST)
thanks


kiran (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:39 IST)
bappida, i still feel there is a lot of depth in illairajas music when compared with arrahmans because rajas music has lot of natural composition and i feel natural composition has more depth than the programmed one


jimmy (Wed Oct 14 1998 10:45 IST)
Bappi Da, what is the next film you are giving music in


RUDRA NADKARNI (Wed Oct 14 1998 11:24 IST)
HI BAPPI DA


RUDRA NADKARNI (Wed Oct 14 1998 11:24 IST)
R U THERE BAPPI JI


arfe (Wed Oct 14 1998 11:30 IST)
hello


arfe (Wed Oct 14 1998 11:30 IST)
hello


amitcv (Wed Oct 14 1998 11:43 IST)
Mr. Bappi Lahiri - how do you feel when people equate Anu Malik and you ? And when you are labeled a copy-cat composer ?


zap (Wed Oct 14 1998 12:45 IST)
Hi , Have I login at right time? It is 12.45 PM here in California.


christopherchris (Wed Oct 14 1998 22:4 IST)
