‘Varaha Roopam’ song has a temporary stay in theatres and OTT

The First Additional District Court judge KE Salih has issued a temporary order prohibiting using the song ‘Varaha Roopam’ from the movie ‘Kantara’ in theatres or on OTT platforms. The court has ruled that there is a prima facie violation of the Copyright Act and has directed that due credit must be given to Thaikkudam Bridge.

The court pointed out that the track’s music director has admitted to taking inspiration from Thaikkudam Bridge’s ‘Navarasa’. The court was hearing a plea regarding allegations of plagiarism against ‘Varaha Roopam’, which claimed that the song had infringed copyright laws by copying the track ‘Navarasa’.

Previously, the Kozhikode Chief Judicial Magistrate Court had authorized the police to seize documents under Section 64 of the Copyright Act. The investigating team was instructed to examine the digital audio workstation and collect evidence to determine whether the music director had violated copyright rules.
