The debate over who is the greater music director, Thaman or Devi Sri Prasad, has now taken center stage on social media.
Fans are comparing their works and questioning their originality after recent controversies sparked heated discussions.
DSP’s blockbuster song “Oo Antava Oo Oo Antava” from Pushpa became a nationwide sensation.
Recently, however, Turkish singer Atiye used the tune for her track “Anlayana”. Despite this, Oo Antava remains an undeniable chartbuster in India.
On the other hand, Thaman’s “OMI Trance” from OG has come under fire for being heavily inspired by Albanian singer Irkenc Hyka’s “Lumi Uni”, released a year earlier.
Critics argue that while DSP’s work inspired others globally with his Oo antava, Thaman’s OG song was a direct lift without credit.
Social media users are loudly voicing their opinions, with many insisting DSP is more talented and original than Thaman.
They highlight that DSP’s music not only rules the Indian charts but also inspires international artists, while Thaman is being accused of conveniently copying from abroad.
This debate has only intensified the rivalry between the two leading composers. |
