Even as Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge continues its strong run at the box office, the film has landed in legal trouble. Bollywood production house Trimurti Films has filed a suit against Aditya Dhar’s banner B62 Studios over the alleged unauthorised use of the song Rang De Lal (Oye Oye).
Row over ‘Rang De Lal’ usage
As per a report by Bar and Bench, the dispute revolves around the rights to the popular track from the 1989 film Tridev. The song was co-composed by Kalyanji–Anandji along with Viju Shah, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi, and vocals by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee.Trimurti Films has alleged that the song, or a version substantially similar to it, has been used in the film without obtaining the required licences.
Claims of copyright infringement
