Delhi High Court Clears OTT Release for ‘Dhurandhar 2’ in Copyright Dispute

The Delhi High Court refused to stay the OTT release of Dhurandhar 2 in a copyright dispute over the remixed song "Tirchi Topiwale."

The Court observed that since the film had already played in theaters without an injunction, it would be "incongruous" to restrict its release on digital platforms.

The Court noted that the plaintiff suppressed facts regarding prior litigation and that the original 1988 agreement, prima facie, covered future technical advancements like streaming.

While clearing the path for the OTT release, the Court directed Super Cassettes Industries to deposit ₹50 lakh with the Registrar General to balance the equities between the parties.
