The Accusations Surrounding Express Raja's Soundtrack 'express raja movie songs copied'

In recent years, numerous films in various languages have faced allegations of plagiarism regarding their soundtracks. The latest addition to this list is Allu Aravind and Bandeep Rayakonda’s Telugu action drama film 'Express Raja', which hit the screens on 18th December 2015.

The movie stars Tamannaah Bhatia alongside its eponymous hero, all set to entertain audiences with his high-octane stunts. However, there's another kind of stunt that seems to be brewing up around this film – allegations of song plagiarism!

According to reports emerging from the Telugu film industry, it appears as though several tracks from 'Express Raja''s soundtracks have been directly lifted from an old Hindi blockbuster released decades ago.

Sources close to the matter claim that three songs in total - 'Dham Dham', ‘Oka Oka Manasa’, and another yet-to-be-identified track – bear striking resemblance to their counterparts from the classic 1996 film 'Raja Hindustani', directed by none other than Dharmesh Darshan.

While an official statement hasn't been issued either way regarding these plagiarism allegations, industry insiders are abuzz with speculation. If indeed true, this could spell trouble for Allu Aravind and his team at the box office as well as damage their respective reputations in Tollywood (Telugu film industry).

It remains to be seen how 'Express Raja' manages to weather this storm of controversy surrounding its music. Only time will tell if audiences give Tamannaah Bhatia enough love to make up for these alleged copyright infringement issues!

In related news, here are some other Telugu movies that have faced similar accusations over their soundtracks in recent times:

1) 'Sriman Srimathi' (2014): This romantic comedy film starring Ravi Teja was accused of lifting several songs from the 2003 Tamil blockbuster 'Pudhukkottai Poznan', which itself had been inspired by a Malayalam hit called 'Thrissilakkattu Podi'.

2) 'Bhairava' (2016): This horror thriller film starring Karthik and Tamannaah Bhatia was accused of plagiarizing several songs from the 2003 Telugu remake 'Dhook' which itself had borrowed heavily from a Tamil original called 'Manmadhan'.

As we wait with bated breath to see how 'Express Raja' navigates this challenging situation, one thing is certain - intellectual property rights will continue to be at the forefront of every filmmaker's mind in Tollywood going forward!
