Trimurti Films has initiated a legal dispute against Aditya Dhar’s production company, B62 Studios, concerning the alleged unauthorized use of the song ‘Oye Oye’ in one of their films. The disagreement centres on the rights associated with the song, which was co-composed by the musical duo Anand–Milind, with lyrics penned by Sameer Anjaan. Originally featured in the 1989 film Tridev, the song included vocal performances by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee.

In its legal complaint, Trimurti Films claims that B62 Studios has utilized the song or a version closely resembling it without securing the appropriate licenses or permissions. According to a report from Bar and Bench, sources acquainted with the situation have indicated that Trimurti maintains ownership and control over the musical composition and sound recording involved. They have alleged that the current usage qualifies as copyright infringement, which includes the unauthorised reproduction of the work and its public communication.

Trimurti Films has expressed apprehension regarding the song’s potential commercial exploitation across various platforms, such as theatrical releases, streaming services, and promotional material. In a bid to protect its interests, the lawsuit seeks an injunction to stop any further utilisation of the song, while also pursuing claims for damages and related legal relief.
