thebalanced.newsDelhi High Court Allows Dhurandhar 2 OTT Release, Orders Rs 50 Lakh Deposit in Song Copyright Case
The Delhi High Court declined to grant interim relief to Trimurti Films in its copyright dispute over the song 'Rang De Lal (Oye Oye)' from Dhurandhar 2, which is alleged to infringe on the 1989 track 'Tirchi Topiwala' from Tridev. The court allowed the film's OTT release, citing substantial investment by producers and agreements with T-Series, but ordered Super Cassettes to deposit Rs 50 lakh as a financial safeguard pending trial. The court noted that restricting the song's OTT use while allowing theatrical exhibition would be inconsistent.
