Controversies

Plagarism Controversy

After being accused of plagiarism numerous times Pritam's situation became complicated when an Iranian band Barobax filed a lawsuit against him for stealing the music of Pyaar Ki Pungi (Agent Vinod) from their track Soosan Khanoom. The song once again put Pritam in the spotlight but he consistently denied the allegations. 

While talking to Hindustan Times Pritam said  Yes I did make mistakes initially. But once I realised it I have been particular about my music. However people keep making false allegations because it’s easy to do that. Since the last three years I have stopped taking false allegations seriously. For example the Iranian band that said I had plagiarised ‘Pungi’ (Agent Vinod; 2012) had to give an apology in court for using my name falsely.
