Finally! Sigh of relief for the makers of ‘83’ as Ranveer Singh starrer gets green signal from the Bombay HC for the OTT release

MUMBAI: Ranveer Singh starrer film 83 got relief as the Bombay High Court pronounced its verdict regarding the broadcasting rights of the film and rejected the plea to stay the OTT release of the movie. As per the honorable Court’s judgment, the movie can now release on Netflix and Hotstar. The verdict ruled in favor of Star India (owner of Hotstar) and Netflix in streaming the film 83. However, the Court upheld the exploitation rights of Reliance Entertainment Studios Pvt. Ltd.

According to reports, Mad Man Film Ventures stated that in light of consent terms, the ownership of intellectual property was divided between them (37.5%), Reliance Entertainment (37.5%), and Vibri Media Pvt. Ltd., one of the producers of the film (25%). The OTT platforms argued that they had been granted rights through agreements that were not under challenge and much prior in time to the consent terms between Mad Man and Reliance. They also contended that Mad Man’s contractual rights would begin only after 10 years and till then Reliance has all the rights of the film for 10 years after its theatrical release.

Film 83 stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Harrdy Sandhu, and others in pivotal roles. It was directed by Kabir Khan and had hit the theatres in December last year.
