The music of Satish Kaushik and Boney Kapoor’s Milenge Milenge is available for illegal downloading online. And the film’s team says they can’t do much about it as of now It’s a problem affecting the music industry and also Bollywood.
With songs of albums and movies easily available online, their profits have already been affected. The latest is that the songs of the Shahid Kapoor-Kareena Kapoor starrer Milenge Milenge are available online, ahead of the film’s music release. But filmmakers, says the film’s director Satish Kaushik, can do little about it.
On Sunday night, Satish’s friend, GS Walia, who lives in the US, chanced upon a website offering the film’s music for downloading. “I got to know about it through him. It’s atrocious. This is such a big crime. The music industry has already suffered a lot because of this,” Satish rues. But he also says that it is impossible to find the source.
“From what I have found out, it is impossible to find the original server; as in, the one from where this has originated, for this is now available on multiple websites. I feel helpless. Pirated films are available online and music is more accessible than movies. The film fraternity has not yet been able to do anything to combat piracy of films,” he explained.
As of now, he is trying his best to coordinate with the music company and getting to know the whole procedure. Until then, he remarkes, “This does not happen down South. You can’t even get pirated CDs in the South till at least six months after the movie’s release, leave alone illegal downloading of movies or music.” With the music available so easily, any chances of the movie also being available ahead of its July release? “Not really. We are trying our best to find out what can be done,” he says.
