A famous music band from Kerala, Thaikudam Bridge accused the Kantara movie of plagiarism. The music band mentioned that Varaha Roopam song from the film is a copy of their song, Navarasam.
They said :we would like our listeners to know that Thaikkudam Bridge is in no way or form affiliated with “Kantara”. The unavoidable similarities between our IP “Navarasam” and “Varaha Roopam” in terms of audio is therefore a blatant infringement of copyright laws.
From our standpoint, the line between “Inspired” and “Plagiarized” is distinct and indisputable and therefore we will be seeking legal action against the creative team responsible for this.
There has been no acknowledgment of our rights over the content and the song is propagated as an Original piece of work by the movie’s creative team.
We request the support of our listeners and encourage you to spread the word about the same. Also, request our fellow artists to share and raise your views protecting music copyright, they concluded.
Kantara is setting the box office on fire and is marching towards Rs 200 crore at the box office. Produced by Hombale Films on a very small budget, Kantara has become the most viewed film of Hombale Films in Karnataka.
