These days south movies are breaking all the records and surpassing bollywood films. One of the most loved movies of this Kantara was dubbed and released in Telugu, Hindi and Tamil released last week. The songs of the movie is also winning the hearts of the audience. The Kannada version of the film has already crossed ₹150 crore nett mark as per Box Office India. As the movie in news everyday there is new revelations.

Kerala-based band Thaikkudam Bridge made accusations of plagiarism against the hit Kannada film Kantara. The band said, the makers of Kantara lifted its song Navarasam for the film. They pointed out that the song Varaha Roopam from Kantara is a copy of its song Navarasam.

On Monday, the band took to Instagram to level plagiarism allegations against the makers of Kantara.  As per their statement, They claimed, “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 ‘plagiarised’ 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.”

As soon as it catches the eyes of people they started commenting on it. One user wrote, “I had shared this same thing in my Instagram Stories as soon as I heard this song. In fact, for some people I know who’ve heard Navarasam a couple of times, and not a gazillion times like I have, thought that the movie has used the Navarasam song for its visuals, since it’s that is very similar. I really hope justice prevails and that you’re credited for the original piece of art you’ve created .” Another comment read, “As much as I loved that song, it felt like listening to a different version of Navarasam itself.”

Speaking about the film, Kantara, which translates to the mystical forest, tells the story of a local demigod (Bhoota) who trades forest land to the tribe’s people with a king in 1870 in exchange for happiness. Many years later, when the king’s son grows greedy and wants the land back, he dies due to the wrath of Bhoota. Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, Kantara follows a Kambala champion, played by Rishab, who comes to loggerheads with an upright Forest Range officer, Murali (Kishore).
