Story highlights

Released on March 19, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been stuck in a legal case for over a month. A recent update in the copyright battle between Trimurti Films and the makers of the movie over the song Tirchi Topiwala (Oye Oye) is that they have failed to settle the matter. 

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar 2 is stuck in a legal case, and it seems like it's far from over. Starring Ranveer Singh, the movie is embroiled in a copyright dispute between Trimurti Films and the film's makers over the song "Tirchi Topiwala" (Oye Oye).

The latest update in the case is that both parties have failed to solve their matter, and as the matter remains unresolved, they are set to return to the Delhi High Court.

Released on March 19, the second part of the movie has made moolah at the box office and is still running strong in the theatres.

Lawyers have informed the Delhi High Court after they asked both parties to settle the matter through mediation.

The case will now go to trial, with the next hearing scheduled for May 8.

The movie is produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios.

What is all the controversy about?

Directed by Dhar, the movie was sued over the use of Rang De Lal in April. Bollywood production company Trimuti Films filed a suit against Dhar's production house, B62 Studios.

In this case, they have accused the makers of using the song from the 1989 film Tridev without seeking permission. The rights to the recreated version of the song have been owned by Trimuti.

In its lawsuit, Trimurti Films alleges that Dhurandhar uses the song, or a similar version, without the required licenses or permissions, constituting copyright infringement. They have asked to stop further use of the song in the movie that is already in the theatres and claim damages, along with other related reliefs.

The original song is co-composed by Anand-Milind and has lyrics by Sameer Anjaan. Meanwhile, the original version of the song featured in the 1989 film was sung by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee.
