It is well known that the popular ‘Varaha Roopam’ song in the recent sensational hit movie ‘Kantara’ has landed the makers in legal trouble. ‘Thaikkudam Bridge’ is a well known band and they composed ‘Navarasam’ song five years ago. People who listened to this track loved it so much and they were quick to find out similarities between the band’s song and ‘Varaaha Roopam’ song.
The band decided to take to social media and bring it to the notice of people. They wrote, “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.”
After hearing their argument, Kozhikode court made a decision and it was revealed officially by Thaikkudam Bridge. The post reads, “The Principal District and Sessions Judge, Kozhikode has injuncted the producer, director, music composer, Amazon, YouTube, Spotify, Wynk Music, Jiosavan, and others from playing the song Varaaha Roopam in the film Kantara without the permission of Thaikudam Bridge. Suit for injunction has been filed on behalf of Thaikkudam Bridge by Music Attorney, Satish Murthi, Advocate Supreme Court of India.â€
