Dhurandhar 2 faces legal trouble over ‘Rang De Lal’ song usage, Trimurti Films files case
Trimurti Films sues Dhurandhar 2 makers over alleged unauthorised use of ‘Rang De Lal’. Film crosses ₹1000 crore amid legal dispute
Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge has landed into legal trouble with the production house Trimurti Films filing a case against him, accusing Dhar’s banner B62 Studios of using the song Rang De Lal (Oye Oye) in the film in an unauthorised way.
Row over song usage
According to a report in the Bar and Bench, the dispute is regarding the rights to use the popular song from the 1989 film Tridev. The song was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji along with Viju Shah, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi, and vocals by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee.

The report further stated that Trimurti Films has alleged that the popular song, or a similar version, has been used in Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge without obtaining the required licences.
Copyright claims and legal relief sought
Trimurti Films has also claimed ownership and/or control over the rights to both the musical work and its sound recording, arguing that the usage amounts to copyright infringement, including unauthorised reproduction and public communication of the track.
