23/03/2013

Harris Jayaraj is currently one of the most eminent music director in kollywood second only to A.R Rahman. Harris started out his career as a guitar player , then worked as additional Programmer for A.R Rahman.

'Varaanam Ayiraam' was a milestone in Harris career , he soar to all new heights after the album release. He bagged all the awards possible that year for his work in Varanaam Aayiraam. All the leading newspaper and online site gave Varaanam Aayiraam such record breaking ratings. But did Harris Jayaraj really deserve those accolades ?

There were totally 7 Tracks in Varaanam Aayiram , out of which 4 seems to be a copy. We give the proof , you decide if its to be called Inspiration or just plain Imitation ?

Song 1 

"Adiye Kolluthe"

This Song is a total Rip Off from AC/DC's Love Bomb.

Song 2 

"Mundhinam Parthene"

This song has also been blatantly copied from George Micheal's Faith, Looks like Harris has taken the task of Repacking Famous Pop Songs for our Tamil Audience upon himself .

Song 3 

"Nenjukkul Peidhidum"

The starting guitar chords are almost similar to each other, this maybe considered by few as copy and inspiration by others.

Song 4 

"Ava Enna"

Stolen or Just Plain Coincidence ?
