Copyright Controversy: Netizens Demand Dhanush Sue Makers of Mrunal Thakur’s New Film Over 'Copied' BGM

Copyright Controversy: Netizens Demand Dhanush Sue Makers of Mrunal Thakur’s New Film Over 'Copied' BGM

10 days ago | 5 Views

The online chatter surrounding actor Dhanush and actress Mrunal Thakur has taken a dramatic turn, moving beyond their alleged dating rumours and landing squarely on a potential copyright controversy. Fans have recently pointed out an uncanny resemblance between the background music (BGM) of Mrunal Thakur’s upcoming romantic film, Do Deewane Seher Mein, and a famous, emotionally resonant track from one of Dhanush’s most iconic past projects.

The controversy was initially sparked when Dhanush himself left a supportive comment on Mrunal's Instagram post sharing the teaser for her new film, which also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi. His seemingly harmless "Looks and sounds good" comment reignited the dating speculation, but the attention quickly shifted to the musical score.

The Striking Similarity to an Iconic Track

Viewers and ardent music fans were quick to notice that the theme music, composed by Anurag Saikia for the teaser of Do Deewane Seher Mein, sounded strikingly similar to the BGM from Dhanush’s 2012 Tamil film, 3. That film, which gained massive popularity and featured the global hit "Why This Kolaveri Di," also had a critically acclaimed and much-loved emotional soundtrack composed by Anirudh Ravichander, including the song "Kannazhaga."

Across social media platforms, comparisons of the two tracks went viral. Fans shared snippets, arguing that the tune in the new Hindi film's teaser carried an "uncanny resemblance" to the older Tamil melody. The observation quickly evolved into accusations of outright plagiarism against the new film's production team and music composer.

Netizens Urge Legal Action: A Mix of Jest and Seriousness

The online conversation escalated rapidly, with many netizens going beyond simple comparisons. They began tagging Dhanush directly, urging him to take legal action. The tone of these comments was a blend of serious copyright concern and humorous jabs referencing the persistent dating rumours between the two stars.

One viral comment humorously summed up the sentiment: "File a copyright claim on this. Just because she's your GF doesn't mean they can copy the BGM of your movie.” Another user directly referenced the source, saying, "Sounds like Dhanush's 3 movie song 'Kannazhaga'." The fan base’s strong attachment to the original, highly emotional soundtrack of 3 fuelled the demand for clarity and accountability.

Silence from Both Camps Fuels Speculation

As the online noise continues to grow, neither the makers of Do Deewane Seher Mein nor the composers have issued any official statement addressing the BGM accusations. They have not clarified whether the similarity was intentional—perhaps an homage or licensed recreation—or merely a coincidence.

Adding further intrigue, both Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur have maintained a firm silence regarding the BGM controversy, even as the dating speculation surrounding their casual Instagram exchange continues to trend. This silence from both the creative and acting teams has only served to add more fuel to the fire, prompting more conjecture among fans about the legitimacy of the alleged musical 'copying.' The entertainment world now waits to see if this social media firestorm translates into any official response or legal development.
