Summary
- Trimurti Films sues B62 Studios over alleged song copyright infringement.
- The lawsuit concerns unauthorized use of 'Rang De Lal' from the 1989 film Tridev.
- An injunction and damages are sought for commercial exploitation of the song.
Trimurti Films has initiated a lawsuit against B62 Studios, directed by Aditya Dhar, asserting unauthorized usage of the song 'Rang De Lal.' This popular track originates from the 1989 film Tridev. Trimurti Films claims ownership of the rights to the song and its sound recording.
The lawsuit alleges that the song, or a substantially similar version, was incorporated into Dhurandhar The Revenge without securing the necessary permissions. This act is cited as copyright infringement, including unauthorized reproduction and public communication of the work. Trimurti Films is pursuing legal action to halt any further use of the song and to claim damages.
The production house has also expressed concerns regarding the commercial exploitation of 'Rang De Lal' through theatrical releases, streaming services, and promotional materials associated with Dhurandhar The Revenge. The film, a 2026 Hindi-language spy action thriller and sequel to Dhurandhar (2025), was released on March 19 and has garnered attention for both its box office success and recent legal challenges.
