The creators of Pippa respond to criticism of AR Rahman’s rendition of the song Karar Oi Louho Kopat by Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam

In the realm of art, especially when it involves a beloved poet’s work, emotions run deep. The recently released rendition of Kazi Nazrul Islam’s timeless composition “Karar Oi Louho Kopat” by the legendary AR Rahman for the upcoming film Pippa has stirred discussions and, inevitably, some criticism. The creators of Pippa have chosen to respond, fostering an open dialogue about artistic interpretation, cultural sensitivity, and the collaborative spirit of creative endeavors.

A Musical Odyssey: AR Rahman’s Rendition

AR Rahman, a maestro in the world of music, took on the monumental task of interpreting Kazi Nazrul Islam’s iconic work for the soundtrack of Pippa. “Karar Oi Louho Kopat,” known for its profound lyrics and historical significance, is a piece of cultural heritage that resonates deeply with Bengali speakers worldwide. Rahman’s rendition, while undoubtedly a display of musical brilliance, prompted varied reactions from listeners, invoking discussions about fidelity to the original composition.

Navigating the Sea of Criticism: The Creators’ Response

In response to the criticism, the creators of Pippa have taken a nuanced approach, acknowledging the varied sentiments expressed by the audience. In an era where cultural appreciation and appropriation are delicate themes, the creators aim to engage in a respectful and insightful conversation with those who hold Nazrul’s work close to their hearts.

The Art of Interpretation: Navigating Boundaries

Artistic interpretation is a complex dance, especially when traversing the revered creations of literary giants. Rahman’s rendition of “Karar Oi Louho Kopat” is not merely a cover but an interpretation, a reimagining that seeks to resonate with contemporary audiences while paying homage to the essence of the original work. The creators emphasize the intent of creating a bridge between generations, fostering a connection with Nazrul’s poetry through a modern lens.

The goal is not to replace or diminish the original but to amplify its beauty for a new audience.

The Ongoing Conversation: A Celebration of Nazrul’s Legacy

As the conversation around AR Rahman’s rendition continues, the creators of Pippa invite fans, critics, and enthusiasts to share their perspectives. It is a testament to the dynamic nature of art, where diverse opinions contribute to a richer understanding of the creative process. The goal remains to celebrate the richness of Nazrul’s legacy and ensure that his timeless verses continue to resonate across generations.

Conclusion: A Melody of Unity

In the ever-evolving landscape of art and expression, the conversation sparked by AR Rahman’s rendition of “Karar Oi Louho Kopat” is an opportunity for unity. It is a chance for diverse voices to converge, creating a harmonious discourse that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. As Pippa prepares to weave together the tapestry of history and contemporary expression, the creators invite everyone to be part of this collective journey, where the beauty of Nazrul’s poetry continues to be a guiding force in the ever-evolving symphony of creative interpretation.

Startups that use excerpts from their own pitch are sent legal notifications by Shark Tank India; the creator responds, “Kaise banega naya India?”

Startups that use excerpts from their own pitch are sent legal notifications by Shark Tank India; the creator responds, “Kaise banega naya India?”

After getting a legal letter from Sony Pictures for copyright infringement, the subscription-based tea business Dorje Teas found itself in deep water for utilising footage from their own pitch on YouTube and Meta advertisements.

The founders of the subscription-based tea company Dorje Teas, Ishaan Kanoria and Sparsh Agarwal.

While many entrepreneurs, especially those with startups, have found transformation through the business reality TV series Shark Tank India, the narrative is slightly different for Dorje Teas, a subscription-based tea firm that ships organic and fresh-from-the-farm Darjeeling Tea to consumers throughout India. Sony Pictures Networks India slapped the firm with a legal notice, which has placed it in hot water.

Co-founder Sparsh Agarwal of the company, who brought Dorje Teas to Shark Tank India last year and raised funds of Rs 30 lakh for 15% equity from Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, and Vineeta Singh, valued the business at Rs 2 crore, recently revealed on LinkedIn that they received a legal notice from Shark Tank India for utilising snippets of their own pitch.

Agarwal claims that they received a notification about copyright infringement for utilising these clips in YouTube and Meta advertisements. It appears that Sony Pictures has sent notice to other companies besides Dorje Teas. He said, “They’ve clamped down on every single startup that showed up on Shark Tank, so we’re not the only ones.”

“I don’t understand why they would do this, even though I am aware of the copyright rules that justify it. After all, Dorje Teas and several other businesses, like Skippi, Assembly, Perfora, Hoovu Fresh, Beyond Snack, Wakao Foods, Nasher Miles, and many more, invest thousands of dollars each month to enhance Shark Tank content, which helps the Shark Tank India brand get free exposure and increase brand memory,” he continued.

Agarwal went on to call it a poor business choice that some executive or lawyer at Sony had made, adding that it “goes against the entire ethos of promoting small startups.”

Additionally, the focus of Shark Tank Season 3 has been on creating a new India and assisting the startup environment in India. “How will we construct a ‘new India’ in this manner?’” he questioned in a self-recorded video.

On social media, Agarwal was met with praise, while some contended that Sony’s actions were legitimate in theory. “Dear Sparsh, you must realise that ‘You are the content’ in this situation. You play a big part in content production. You posted the material that features you on your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and so on), but not on Sony’s. You might say that the traffic they were supposed to get was somehow redirected to them. A content strategist made the observation, “You are monetizing your social channels with the content they produce.”

“The first person to provide a sneak peek in the content industry attracts greater attention. Furthermore, it’s possible that you agreed to sign a waiver giving them perpetual rights to the footage they shot. They said, “Verify your contract or try to recall signing any electronic documents on the filming locations that make this clear.

“You are investing lakhs of dollars to promote Shark Tank, while Shark Tank is investing billions of dollars to plan and publicise the programme that features your brand.” Simply alter your viewpoint, as another poster pointed out.
