Pritam's Music Composition (???)

Pritam Chakraborty is now a famous music director in Bollywood. He has many recent hits, some of the songs he seemed to compose are even topped many charts. He is really a talented guy and have good ears for music. I really liked his compositions from "Jab We Met" film.

It came to me as a shock when I saw a mail forwarded by a friend of mine. I am just copying the mail content below and leaving it to you people to comment on them.
