South music composer Gopi Sundar praised Sudheer Attavar's film Koragajja and said the film has allowed him to invent new genre, exploring fresh musical territories.  

Gopi Sundar praises Sudheer Attavar's meticulous research for uncovering the story's unique essence, revealing a narrative that breaks new ground and redefines the film story dynamic. The soundtrack features a track by Shankar Mahadevan that masterfully blends verses from the Shiva Tandava, infusing traditional elements with a fresh and exciting perspective.

Gopi Sundar further said ‘the film’s subtle layers go beyond regular movie formats, and composing for it was both challenging and rewarding.’

Koragajja, directed by Sahitya Akademi Award-winner Sudheer Attavar under the banner of Trivikrama Cinemas & Success Films, explores the story of Koragajja, a principal deity worshipped in the Karavali region of Karnataka, Kerala and few places of Mumbai, focusing on an indigenous youth’s transformation into the divine figure of Koragajja over 800 years ago.

Composer Gopi Sundar, collaborating with Sudheer Attavar, calls the project a ‘unique musical experience’. He explains how the music goes beyond traditional compositions, saying, ‘Composing music for this movie required more time as I had to immerse myself in new traditions. The tunes I created came after understanding these customs, and I’m glad the director liked my work.’

The film features six songs, composed in different styles and languages, with lyrics penned by Sudheer Attavar himself.

The film's soundtrack features a powerhouse lineup of talented vocalists, including Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Javed Ali, Swaroop Khan, and Arman Malik, all of whom deliver captivating performances that showcase the innovative composition of Gopi Sundar. The result is a truly groundbreaking musical experience that pushes the boundaries of creativity and genre.

Many singers reached out to Gopi Sundar, eager to express their genuine enthusiasm for his extraordinarily innovative composition.
