Overview
- Justice Tushar Rao Gedela on Thursday declined an immediate takedown of Rang De Lal (Oye Oye) from Dhurandhar 2 and sent the case to the Delhi High Court mediation centre.
- The court directed B62 Studios and Super Cassettes (T‑Series) to preserve detailed accounts of all exploitation since the March 19 release, with mediation on April 22 and the next hearing on May 6.
- Trimurti Films alleges Rang De Lal unlawfully recreates Tridev’s 1989 song Tirchi Topiwale and seeks an injunction, damages, and an accounting across theatres, streaming, and promotions.
- The defendants opposed interim relief, with T‑Series asserting rights over the track, the film not expected on OTT before mid‑May, and a lyric video that credits original composers and singers.
- The stakes are high due to the film’s blockbuster run and planned streaming window, and a reported second suit targets another Tridev song, highlighting how older music contracts often lacked remix or all‑formats clauses that today drive royalty disputes.
