Due to legal issue there
is uncertainty about the release of the film Barfi!. It seems that the release
date of the film might have been changed. The producers of the film UTV Motion
Pictures and Ishana Films have received a legal notice for infringing the
copyrights from Murphy Enterprises, a Mumbai-based company.
According to different
reports, Barfi team has infringed
the copyrights of their registered trademarks without obtaining a NOC.
In their legal notice they
informed about their 32 trademarks which is under several classes. They also
mentioned that if the film makers did not take the notice seriously then they
would file a legal suit against the producers, thus bringing a stay on the
movie release, or further perusal claiming damages worth Rs. 50 crore.
Mainly they have objected
about the song titled Ala Barfi. The lyrics of this song are “Barfi jo amma ji
ki kokh mein tha soya/ Amma ne murphy ka radio mangaya/ barfi munna jaisa
lalla/ amma ka tha sapna/ Munna jab haule haule duniya mein aaya/ Baba ne Ceylon wala station lagaya/ Radio on hua, amma off hui/
Toota har sapna.”
Surjeet Kurup, the lawyer
of the company, thinks that the title song of the film is not only a violation
of copyright.
Let’s see what happens
next.
The release date of Barfi!
is 14 September 2012.
It stars Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz in the lead roles.
