The debate of insiders and outsiders has intensified in Bollywood since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the same famous lyricist Swanand Kirkire has strongly criticized the online music apps.

Since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate of insiders and outsiders has intensified in Bollywood and many stars are openly expressing their views on this issue, the same famous lyricist Swanand Kirkire has strongly criticized the online music apps. Swanand, who has written lyrics for films like PK, Three Idiots, Kai Po Che, English Vinglish, has raised the issue of not giving credit to lyricists on online music apps in many of his tweets. After Swanand, lyricists like Manoj Muntashir and Varun Grover have also supported him.

Swanand Kirkire shared some screenshots of the film ‘Dil Bechara’ on July 18, which were available on a music app. He wrote in tweeting, ‘There is no custom to write the name of Lyric Writer on these music apps. The thumbnail maker has written on it in fine letters, but inside like every song, the composer’s name is there, not the songwriter’s name. Have printed lyrics, could not name them.

After this, he mentioned three famous films in another tweet and told how even the great lyricists of these films have not got credit for their films. He wrote, ‘Here 3 different films of different times have been taken by screenshots of the album of Tirti Kasam (Shailendra), Lagaan (Javed Akhtar) and Omkara (Gulzar). If we are not giving these names, then we are the radish of which field? ‘

Apart from this, he tweeted another tweet in which he shared screenshots of songs list of many popular movies on music apps. He wrote in his tweet, Should not the song writer be named in Kal Ho Naa Ho, Rockstar, Three Idiots, Gangs of Wasseypur, Teri Mitti (single)? You can see for yourself the names do not mark. Will put shots of other apps tomorrow.

Manoj Muntashir said, the mill fights for self-respect

Swanand’s tweet was also retweeted by lyricist Manoj Muntashir and wrote, ‘It’s not just about Spotify Bhai, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Hungama, Gaana, Jio Sawan, no one thought it necessary to recognize us. Well now that you have raised your voice, I can remember the words of Dinkar, not solicitation, now there will be battle. Let’s fight for self-respect.

Apart from this, Swanand also retweeted the tweet of lyricist and writer Varun Grover in which Varun said that he was not given credit by the Times Music Hub in the lyrics of the 2014 film Aankhen Dekhi. Swanand wrote in his tweet, ‘The music company conveniently forgot to mention the names of the creators. What melodies and words came from the air? The names of both Varun Grover and Sagar Desai are missing. We were talking about this irresponsible behavior.

Varun also reacted to this and wrote, ‘All music apps believe that the writers of Lyrics do not matter. The fans who make the cover of these songs pay more respect to the writers and ensure that the entire team (songwriters, singers, musicians) always gets credit.
