Ismail Darbar – Bollywood Nites https://www.bollywoodnites.com Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:50:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 https://www.bollywoodnites.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cropped-cropped-logo-32x32.png Ismail Darbar – Bollywood Nites https://www.bollywoodnites.com 32 32 Shall Rahman too Sue Darbar?? https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/13/shall-rahman-too-sue-darbar/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/13/shall-rahman-too-sue-darbar/#respond Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:50:36 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=5707

In the latest twist in the tale, Ismail Darbar who has accused AR Rahman for buying the Oscars in 2008 has taken a big ‘U’ turn after knowing that Academy is planning to sue the musician for USD 50,000 million.

As soon as rumors reached to Darbar’s ears he turned his ways and now says, he is ready to apologize to the Oscars.

The musician had indicted Rahman, saying that the maestro has paid for the awards which he received in 2008 for Best Original Score and Best Original Song in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire.

Following which Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are rumored of proceeding to sue Darbar.

Now Darbar says, he has nothing against Academy Awards but he wanted to wake up his friend Rahman for churning out inferior music in the last one year. Darbar should look into himself for the same, what music he has composed so far in his career?

Darbar said in a leading tabloid, “I am grateful that I have been respected in the industry for my work. I did say some things about Rahman, because as a friend I want to jolt him out of his reverie and start giving good music.

I chose a public platform to do it, because he wouldn’t listen to me otherwise. I have nothing against the Oscars.

It is the most respected award, the whole world acknowledges it, and I do, too. If any of them (Academy) are hurt by my comments, I apologise to them.”

It seems Darbar has realized that this is hurting his reputation and he might run out of the work for his indecent comments over fellow musician, who everyone respects.

“I am not scared. The truth is, I realise that those people who respected me for my work, might misunderstand me and think I am baddimag (arrogant person).

Also, the fact is, I can have nothing against the Oscar panel or those behind the awards. My issue was with Rahman and I guess he’s got the message by now,” Darbar added.

You know Mr. Ismail Darbar who is arrogant, isn’t it?

Rahman still Modest over Allegations! https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/01/rahman-still-modest-over-allegations/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/06/01/rahman-still-modest-over-allegations/#respond Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:47:43 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=4900

Ismail Darbar must have thought when he will accuse AR Rahman for bribing the Oscars officials he will retreat or react as someone stung by a bee but Rahman as always looked unperturbed by the allegation has modestly replied when asked about it, “It’s a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinion.”

Rahman is been busy with the music of Rajnikanth starrer ‘Rana’. “I have completed three songs in the film. The title song ‘Enge Poguthe Vaanam, Ange Pogirom Naam…’ is sung by S P Balasubramaniam. I will resume work on the album soon after the ailing Superstar returns hale and hearty from Singapore. I recently met him at the hospital in Chennai and had a brief chat with him. Rajinikanth has had a major influence on my life and I am a huge fan of his. I wish him a speedy recovery,” told Rahman to a leading daily.

The maestro has also completed the music of Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Rockstar’. “The soundtrack is ready. The film might not be based on rock music, but it’s about the experiences of a man and elements that change his life, with rock in the backdrop. Ranbir used to frequent the studio and keenly observe me while I was composing the music. Besides, I have also signed another project with Yash Raj,” he added.

With so much of successful work, it becomes obvious to attract envy!

In Ismail’s Darbar: Rahman is a Thief!! https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/31/in-ismails-darbar-rahman-is-a-thief/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/05/31/in-ismails-darbar-rahman-is-a-thief/#respond Tue, 31 May 2011 06:36:39 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=4801

It looks to be an accusation and simply it could be. Bollywood has a trend of accusing each other when it comes to music and lyrics more often than a story and its plot. The latest to hit the bolt from behind is Ismail Darbar, who has accused Academy Award winner AR Rahman of bribing the Oscar’s jury and stealing credit for works which he has not done.

Whether it is a box of lies, or a Pandora box of mischief but certainly it has slung the mud to one of the premier music composer who has been on top of the game from last 20 years and has never been into blame game or part of mudslinging.

At a press conference in Nagpur, Ismail Darbar suddenly spilled the beans which will keep the newswallahs behind him for at least a week.

Darbar spoke to Mid-Day about his allegations, he said, “Rahman is a very good businessman, he knows how to handle his public relations. I will yet again say that he has bought the Oscar.

Also, I would like to add that the songs, that he claims to have composed, are not even his! He is just a fantastic salesperson.

I have proof that Jai Ho is not his. It has been done by someone else. All the big film-makers like Subhash Ghai, Mani Rathnam know about it.

But none of them have the guts to come out and speak up, because Rahman is a big name. If he has guts, let him come out and prove me wrong.


I have proofs of him having stolen credit from someone else. I can show those proofs if need be.

Even when Devdas and Saathiya were up for National Awards for music, Saathiya, the music for which is composed by Rahman, won.

First of all, a dubbed movie is never given National Awards. Then, how did Saathiya get it? It is not that I am talking now. I have wanted to talk about this forever. It is just that no one ever asked me about it.”

Although Darbar says that no one has ever asked him earlier but what prompted him to say all these when again no one really would have asked him about the same?

Ramhan’s team member Vijay Iyer laughs away the allegations, saying, “If somebody wants to comment on Rahman, they can. It is a free country.

AR has been sincere to his fans and his music since the last twenty years.

If someone says he has bought the Oscars, how does he explain his Oscar nomination for 127 Hours? We are all proud of everything he has done.”
