The Bombay High Court, in a recent ruling, has declined to halt the release of the much-anticipated movie Dream Girl 2, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, asserting that films should not be prevented from hitting the screens at the eleventh hour. Scheduled for release this Friday, August 25, the film has been the subject of a legal dispute.

Justice Riyaz Chagla delivered this verdict on August 22 during the hearing of a suit filed by Ashim Bagchi, who alleged that the movie's storyline bore a striking resemblance to a script he registered with the Film Screen Writers Association back in May 2007. Bagchi had sought an injunction to halt the film's release pending the outcome of his lawsuit.

However, the High Court emphasized that the suit and the application for the injunction were filed on August 18, leaving insufficient time for the respondents to respond adequately. The court stated, "It is well settled that at the eleventh hour, films should not be prevented from their release. An opportunity is required to be given to the Respondent/Defendant to file their reply to the interim application."

The respondents, including Balaji Telefilms Ltd, its directors Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, as well as the writers of the film Raaj Shaandilyaa and Naresh Kathooria, have been instructed by the court to file their affidavits responding to Bagchi's suit. Bagchi had previously issued a cease and desist notice to the production company, which included Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, before approaching the High Court when no response was received.

The case is set for further hearing on August 31, 2023, just days after the film's scheduled release, leaving the fate of Dream Girl 2 hanging in the balance as the legal battle unfolds.

Since its inception, Amazon Prime Video in India has delivered several memorable shows, but Panchayat stands out. The show, set in a small village in North India, is loved for its simplicity, humour, performances and also because it appeals to audiences of all ages. The first season dropped in 2020 and became a huge hit. The second season which came in 2022 was as exciting and entertaining as part 1 and also got huge viewership. As a result, there’s tremendous excitement for the third season, which is ready and is expected to stream soon. At the grand Amazon Prime Video event last week, the attendees got a sneak peek of the teaser of Panchayat’s Season 3. It was quite loved as it unveiled an interesting plot point of the show. It turns out that the character of Ganesh (Aasif Khan) returns in Season 3. Ganesh was seen in Season 1 in an interesting cameo of a disgruntled groom who gets into a fight with Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar), the lead of the series and secreta...
