Legal row erupts over songs in Dhurandhar: The Revenge

Trimurti Films has initiated legal proceedings against B62 Studios, owned by filmmaker Aditya Dhar, alleging the unauthorized use of two songs, "Rang De Lal" and "Hum Pyar Karne Wale," from the 1989 film Tridev in B62's new film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Trimurti Films claims to hold the rights to both the composition and sound recording of these tracks, contending their incorporation without permission constitutes copyright infringement, including unauthorized reproduction and public distribution. The lawsuit seeks an immediate court order to halt further use of the songs, alongside demands for compensation and other legal remedies for their commercial use across various platforms. The film was released on March 19, and concerns have been raised over the songs' use in promotional campaigns and on digital platforms. The matter has been further complicated by T-Series releasing a lyrical video for "Hum Pyar Karne Wale" on YouTube, crediting the original artists, which adds another layer to the rights dispute.
