this track bore a strong resemblance to Thaikkudam Bridge's track Navarasam (released about 6 years earlier, likely around 2016). Comments by fans and critics referred to not only the musical similarity, but also to themes and elements in Thaikudam's music video, which seemed central to the plot and concepts in Kantara. The film-makers of Kantara had not given any creative attribution or citation to the original work from Thaikkudam Bridge, inspite of the close parallels (in both music, and plot theme), and potential copyright issues. To quote one of the band members "“Initially, we were okay with it as some songs do have similarities at times. However, the comments, messages and calls didn’t stop. In fact, thousands of comments were deleted on Varaha Roopam’s video. We still gave it time, listened to it a number of times and made sure of the similarities.”" The Indie band, in spite of its limited resources, went to court against the media giant Hombale Films (creator of Kantara) , causing a temporary take-down of the Kantara video in question, but Kantara's team seems to have prevailed on the legal front, and has gone forward without making any creative attribution .
