Hi Guys,

You all must be knowing recently Supreme Court of India issused notice 2 Ram Gopal Varma for tampering National Anthem for his movie Rann.

Video of Jan Gan Rann:
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQPlDdjLIB0[/YOUTUBE]

Now,is it right to tamper National Anthem which is considered pride of the nation in the name of artistry or there should be some limitations.And was Supreme Court's decision against Ram Gopal Varma right?

I can understand the deep sentiments attached to the national anthem. However, upon hearing this version I personally did not feel that the anthem was tampered with. The anthem has been reinterpreted. Its not rearranged in a way that could be offensive, but changed to provoke thought, raise question and has been done in a respectful way. Personally, I do not find anything wrong with it.

Over here there is actually a quite popular techno mix of Star Spangled Banner that plays at games and events. Such alterations can be disrespectful.

Ultimately, its for the people of the nation to decide what is important to them.

I strongly believe dat national anthem is something is that holds whole of nation's pride and tampering that is disrespecting the nation.I agree what message he has put through the song is true to certain extent but national anthem is national anthem one can't let go away wid it under the name of artistry..

I think they wrote up a law against doing changes to national items such as national flag, anthem etc and if that includes changing national anthem I gotta agree with the justice's opinion. but I think given our lawmakers habit of not being precise I think they didnt invision this, and the justice might have overextended the law as usual

My Personal take

I am sorry that is not re-interpretaion of the national anthem, that was brutulization of the national anthem

When you re-interpret, you dont go around changing the lyrics

If you want re-interpretation, this is a perfect example(word to the wise: If you are faint hearted, skip the second video😆)

If you want to understand interpretation, listen to every song that Adam Lambert sang this year in American Idol and compare it with the original

If you want to talk about the social situation you can go Sahir Ludhwanvi's way and compose original's such as "Jinhe Naaz hai Hind pe". We still do have people like Gulzar, Javed Akhtar or Prasoon Joshi who would have done a good job at that.

This was just a lazy attempt at garnering publicity for the film by changing words in the national anthem

I have been very much in favor of freedom of speech, this is not about the national anthem, this is using things to get publicity. i wouldnt mind him singing the national anthem in a different tune with a different video portraying how we all have mucked up this beautiful country across the board. No problem whatsover, that for me would be his interpretation and I would respect him for doing that too, but this is just a cheapo attempt at selling the movie

But speaking of reinterpretation, if you want to reinterpret a song, you have to be genius like these

Those are parodies, not re-interpretations, Alanis is almost parodying/covering Fergie there. I am sorry I hate being picky about it, b'cos there is a world of difference between parodying and reinterpretation and what RGV is claiming to be reinterpretations here
