Delhi HC removes stay order on Hindi dub of ‘Bheemla Nayak’

Published

on

 The Delhi High Court has vacated an earlier stay order on the Hindi-dubbed version of the Telugu film ‘Bheemla Nayak’, a remake of the Malayalam original version ” Ayyappanum Koshiyum.”

The present suit has been filed by Plaintiff (JA Entertainment) seeking a permanent injunction restraining defendants (Sithara Entertainment and others) alleging it infringes Plaintiff’s copyright in respect of Remake and Dubbing Rights of the film in the Hindi language. The plaintiff sought to stay on dubbing the Telugu film “Bheemla Nayak” in Hindi as they have the right to the Hindi remake of the Malayalam original.

“..a copyright owner has a right to dub the Telugu film in any language including Hindi and Plaintiff cannot assert any right to restrain Defendant No. 1 from dubbing the Telugu film in Hindi..” said Justice Jyoti Singh in a recently passed order.

As per the plea, the Plaintiff’s creative team came across a Malayalam film ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’, which was released on February 7, 2020, which was a huge success commercially. Plaintiff decided to remake the film in the Hindi language and being a commercially lucrative venture, Plaintiff approached the producer and got the Hindi Remake Rights in the Malayalam film.

As per the Agreement, Plaintiff was assigned the exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable ‘Remake and Dubbing’ rights, to be exercised in all modes, mediums and formats. The rights assigned, to the extent relevant for the present case included: (a) the sole right to make a new cinematograph film based on the Malayalam film in Hindi language; (b) right to dub the Malayalam film as well as the Hindi remake in any or all languages; and (c) right to subtitle in any language for any purpose through any media. Around July, 2020 Plaintiff commenced pre-production of the Hindi Remake in accordance with rights granted under the Agreement dated May 13, 2020.

Meanwhile, the defendant said that they acquired copyrights in the story and for re-making and dubbing the Malayalam film into Telugu and subtitling rights into all Indian and world languages, without any geographical restrictions as well as to exploit the same throughout the world in all formats and media. The assignment thus included the right to exploit the remade Telugu film in all formats including by dubbing in all other languages.

After the arguments of both parties, the single-judge bench also said,”…in my prima facie view, Defendants are right in their argument that the test of infringement in the present case is not the degree of similarity between the Telugu film dubbed in Hindi and the Malayalam film dubbed in Hindi, but the test is whether dubbing the Telugu film in Hindi in order to communicate it to the public infringes on any exclusive right of the Plaintiff, which is not the case here..”

Vijay to meet families of Karur stampede victims in Mahabalipuram today

Published

on

Chennai, Oct 27: TVK president and actor Vijay will on Monday hold a meeting with families who lost their loved ones in the Karur stampede tragedy.

The meeting, organised at a private resort in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, comes exactly a month after 41 people died during a TVK rally in Karur, marking the first time Vijay will personally interact with the bereaved families.

On Sunday, TVK functionaries arranged for the families to be brought from Karur and the surrounding districts to Mahabalipuram. Around 38 families arrived in eight private buses arranged by the party, while two families are scheduled to reach by air on Monday morning. A family from Tiruppur, however, has chosen to stay back.

About 50 rooms have been booked at the seaside resort along East Coast Road for their accommodation.

According to TVK sources, the families were first picked up from their homes and transported to a common assembly point in Karur before being taken to Mahabalipuram by road. The arrangements were coordinated by three district secretaries representing Karur, Coimbatore, and Erode.

Initially, Vijay had planned to visit Karur to meet the families at their residences. However, the plan was dropped due to security and logistical constraints. The party then decided to bring the families to a common venue to facilitate a quiet and private meeting.

The meeting will begin with a candlelight tribute for the 41 victims at the resort’s convention hall. Vijay will then meet each family individually to offer his condolences and extend assistance. The event is expected to conclude by 3 p.m., followed by lunch, after which the families will begin their return journey.

Party functionaries described the event as “a solemn, humane occasion” meant to express solidarity rather than seek publicity.

“Vijay wanted to stand by the families in their moment of grief and assure them that their pain has not been forgotten,” a senior TVK leader said, adding that the meeting is intended to bring comfort and closure to the affected families.
