Delhi High Court Orders Rs 50 Lakh Deposit in Dhurandhar 2 Song Copyright Dispute

The Delhi High Court declined to grant interim protection to Trimurti Films in its copyright dispute over the song 'Rang De Lal (Oye Oye)' from Dhurandhar 2, which allegedly infringes on the 1989 track 'Tirchi Topiwala' from Tridev. Instead, the court ordered Super Cassettes Industries to deposit Rs 50 lakh as a financial safeguard. The court noted concerns about suppressed facts by Trimurti Films and allowed the film's theatrical and OTT release while the case proceeds.
