Nora Fatehi, Honey Singh’s Body Roll Faces Plagiarism Allegations

Nora Fatehi and Honey Singh’s latest track Body Roll has sparked major online debate, with several social media users accusing the music video of heavily resembling Jibaro, the acclaimed episode from Netflix’s animated anthology series Love, Death + Robots. Although the song crossed over 2 million views within hours of release, the conversation online quickly shifted from praise to plagiarism allegations, with many viewers calling the similarities too obvious to ignore.

The music video begins with a man dressed in medieval-inspired attire sprinting through a dense forest before reaching a mystical lake. As he bends to drink water, viewers notice his heavily tattooed appearance and ornate jewellery. Moments later, Nora Fatehi emerges dramatically from the lake, dressed in a striking gold ensemble with elaborate headgear, giving off an ethereal, siren-like aura. The sequence then transitions into a stylized dance performance featuring Nora and her troupe.

Soon after the video dropped, viewers began comparing its visual treatment to Jibaro, the final episode of Love, Death + Robots Season 3 that premiered in 2022. Directed by Oscar-winning animator Alberto Mielgo, the episode follows a conquistador who encounters a mysterious golden siren in a forest setting. The haunting imagery, rich gold aesthetics, tattoos, jewellery, and dreamlike atmosphere became some of the most talked-about aspects of the animated short, earning widespread acclaim globally.

Netizens Call Out The Resemblance

Internet users were quick to point out that Body Roll seemed to mirror several of these exact visual elements. An Instagram reel posted by content creator Filmy Sonia featuring side-by-side comparisons soon went viral, amplifying the discussion further.

Comment sections across platforms were flooded with reactions. One user wrote, “It’s giving ‘Jibaro’ from Love, Death and Robots… But love the twist!!!” while another bluntly stated, “The visuals are copied from Love, Death and Robots from Netflix.” Another comment that gained traction read, “Copycats can’t create original.” While someone else remarked, “It’s called stolen. Not inspired.”

Instagram users echoed similar sentiments. One comment under Nora Fatehi’s post read, “Original banao netflix sab dekhte hai aaj kal.” Another user wrote, “I just saw the teaser, and I felt like it isn’t this Jibaro? And it sure was a full-fledged copy.” Some attempted to describe the visuals as merely inspired, but others disagreed strongly. One person commented, “Calling something ‘inspired’ is hard to digest when Bollywood has a history of copying.” Another added, “It really makes me mad when original art is copied with no credits given. And to what extent can you be inspired so as to copy the whole sequence??”

As of now, neither Nora Fatehi, Honey Singh, nor their respective teams have responded to the accusations or publicly acknowledged Jibaro as a creative reference. Despite the controversy, Body Roll continues to generate massive traction online, with curiosity around the plagiarism debate seemingly adding to its viral momentum.
