Kantara song Varaha Roopam plagiarised, allege Kerala band Thaikkudam Bridge

 Synopsis

A Kerala band, Thaikkudam Bridge, has accused the makers of Kantara of copying their song Navarasam and naming it Varaha Roopam. They took to Instagram to say that the filmmakers gave them no credit for the track.

Thaikkudam Bridge, a popular Kerala-based music band, has alleged that one of the songs in the hit film Kantara has been lifted from their album and has threatened legal action against the makers.

Taking to Instagram, Thaikkudam Bridge saod the song Varaha Roopam has been plagiarised from their 2016 song Navarasam, and that the similarities were too strong to be dismissed as an inspiration.


They said the band was not associated with the movie Kantara, and that the act was an infringement of copyright laws.

"From our and our partners standpoint, 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 acknowledgement of our rights over the content and the song is propagated as an Original piece of work by the movie's creative team," Thaikkudam Bridge wrote.

The song 'Varaha Roopam' which the music company claims to be a copy is sung by Sai Vignesh and composed by B Ajaneesh Loknath.

Helmed by Rishab Shetty 'Kantara' was released on September 30 and gathered massive responses from the audience for its storyline and amazing visuals.

Here are the two songs. Judge for yourself.
