Controversy over Dhurandhar 2’s Oye-Oye song reaches court, makers get order to keep track of earnings

News India Live, Digital Desk: Most awaited film of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh ‘Dhurandhar 2’ It seems to be stuck in legal troubles even before its release. The copyright dispute regarding the film’s chartbuster song ‘Oye Oye’ has now reached the threshold of the court. The Bombay High Court has taken a tough stand in this matter and has directed the producers of the film to keep detailed accounts of the entire earnings from this song.

What is the controversy of the song ‘Oye Oye’?

The crux of the dispute is over the rights of the original song ‘Oye Oye’ from the 1989 blockbuster film ‘Tridev’. The original composer and rights holders claim that the makers of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ have not taken the necessary legal permission to use the hook step and music tune of the song. Calling it a violation of intellectual property, a demand was made to the court to ban the use of the song.

Court suggested mediation

During the hearing, the court gave relief to both the parties and suggested to resolve the matter through mediation. The court said that there is less time left for the release of the film, in such a situation it would be better to resolve the dispute by mutual consent. However, until a final decision is taken, the makers will have to keep track of the revenue from digital, satellite and other mediums of this song, so that the royalty can be properly distributed later.

Can it affect the box office?

‘Dhurandhar 2’ is considered to be one of the biggest films of the year 2026. The Jugalbandi of Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh has already created a stir on social media. Trade analysts believe that if this legal dispute drags on, the film’s promotion and music distribution may be affected. However, the makers claim that they have followed all the legal procedures and will present their stand strongly in the court.

Tremendous popularity of the song among fans

Despite all the controversies, the new version of ‘Oye Oye’ remains on top on YouTube and reel charts. Salman Khan’s signature style and Ranveer Singh’s energy have made the song extremely popular among the youth. Now it remains to be seen whether both the parties are able to reach an agreement at the mediation table or the path of ‘Dhurandhar 2’ will be more difficult.
