Yash Raj Films (YRF), a renowned production house, is the producer of the Bollywood film, Band Baja Baarat which was released on December 10, 2010 in India and other countries. The YRF holds copyright in various original works in this film, including but not limited to the storyline, dialogues, theme, concept, plot, script, music, lyrics and character sketches. YRF had not sold the copyrights of the film to any third party and was the sole owners of the same. Around December 2011, the YRF came to know that Sri Sai Ganesh Productions (SSGP) intended to remake the film in Telugu. The YRF sent two cease and desist notices to the SSGP, one in January 2012 and the other in April 2012 but received no response. Subsequently, the SSGP released a trailer, following that the YRF issued the Third Legal Notice requesting a copy of the Impugned Movie and the Script before the release of the Movie. The SSGP did not respond to the third notice either, and instead released the film titled Jabardasth in February 2013. The SSGP had also sold their rights to a Tamil production house for its remake. The YRF filed a copyright infringement suit against the defendants for blatantly copying the plot, theme and character-sketch of their movie. Based on the above facts answer the following: Will YRF succeed in this case of copyright infringement ? Decide based on the judicial pronouncements of the court.
