Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Bollywood Drama: Rs 84 Crore Lawsuit Rocks Aanand L Rai Over *Raanjhanaa* IP Clash! **Imagine a blockbuster sequel sparking a massive legal showdown—** that's the explosive reality for filmmaker **Aanand L Rai**, hit with an **Rs 84 crore lawsuit** from Eros International over his latest film *Tere Ishk Mein*.[1][2] Fresh off the November 2025 release of *Tere Ishk Mein*—starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, echoing the 2013 hit *Raanjhanaa* (also directed by Rai with Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor)—Eros claims Rai's team illegally rode the wave of *Raanjhanaa*'s goodwill.[1][5] The Bombay High Court suit accuses Rai, his banner Colour Yellow Media Entertainment LLP, writer Himanshu Sharma, T-Series, and Netflix of **copyright infringement, trademark violation, and passing off**.[1][3] Eros, asserting exclusive ownership of *Raanjhanaa*'s IP—including copyrights, trademarks, characters like Kundan Shankar and Murari, plus sequel rights—alleges the July 2025 teaser blatantly used phrases like "From the world of Raanjhanaa," hashtags such as #WorldOfRaanjhanaa, visuals, background scores, and music to position *Tere Ishk Mein* as an unauthorized "spiritual sequel."[2][4] Rai remains unfazed, brushing it off as "routine business disputes" in the film world. "Anyone can say anything about anything at any time," he told NDTV, insisting it's a legal matter for lawyers and "nothing serious."[1][3] Despite a July 2025 cease-and-desist notice, Eros pushed forward, demanding hefty damages for the alleged misuse.[1][4] This multi-party battle highlights the cutthroat stakes of Bollywood IP wars—where nostalgia meets big bucks.
