‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ has completed seven weeks in theatres and continues to perform strongly at the box office, setting new records for Bollywood. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, it has become the biggest Hindi film in India and one of the top-grossing Indian films worldwide. Even as it is still playing in cinemas, interest in its OTT release is growing. While the makers have not made any official announcement yet, a legal case involving the film has offered some clues about their plans.

The spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar 2’ used the song Tirchi Topiwale in its climax, presenting it in a remixed form titled Rang De Laal, composed by Shashwat Sachdev. Rajiv Rai, who directed and produced Tridev, the film where the original song appeared, has taken legal action against the makers, alleging that the track was used without authorisation. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had asked both parties to resolve the dispute through mediation, but it was informed on Wednesday that the mediation process did not succeed.
