Gopi Sunder once again alleged for copying
Gopi Sunder, one of the leading composers in Malayalam film industry has often been criticised for copying tunes. He has been accused of lifting tunes from Hollywood movies for his background score.
Recently, the motion poster of the Mammootty starrer The Great Father was released. The 55 second video had its background score composed by Gopi Sunder. The score had an uncanny resemblance to the background music tuned by Bijibal for the movie Red Wine.
Responding to the allegations, Gopi Sunder updated a status in his official Facebook page. The post reads,
“Every week am committing a new film to do music . My dear critics, can you do something reg it ?”
The post has been met with mixed response among the netizens. Some have criticised Gopi for his arrogance, while some others have lauded his confidence.
Last year during the release of Kali’s trailer, the composer was severely trolled for lifting the background score from the English movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. He even admitted to having been inspired by the background score of the Hollywood movie. Similarly his background score for Bangalore Days, Olanjali Kuruvi song from 1983, Kaal Kuzhanju song from Left Right Left were all accused of plagiarism.
But all these allegations hasn’t stopped the National award winner from signing back to back projects. He is currently the most demanded music director in Malayalam film industry. Of late he has been working in other language movies also.
Georgettan’s Pooram, Role Models, Sathya, The Great Father, Kammarasambhavam, Ramaleela, CIA, Chunkzz and Tiyaan are some of his upcoming movies in Mollywood.
