Credit for music scores remains a jarring note in Bollywood

A recent social media uproar against audio streaming platforms that did not credit music composer duo Nadeem Shravan for old T-Series productions such as Aashiqui and Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin has brought to light Bollywood’s mixed track record in this respect.

While composers and lyricists are granted rights under the Copyright Act, legal experts point out that labels often manage specific agreements where they remain sole owners of the work in question. While artistes and composers can take objection to not being credited, streaming services are under no obligation to change or incorporate details.

T-Series did not respond to Mint’s queries.
