Toilet Ek Prem Katha Movie Review: Critics Reviews, Ratings Are Here

On Monday, A local court heard in part the opinions in a case of infringement of the Copyright Act by the producers of Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Toilet – Ek Prem Katha. “Today the arguments remained full of loopholes in Jaipur Metropolitan Court and will proceed tomorrow too,” said G.D. Bansal, advocate for Jaipur-based filmmaker Pratik Sharma.

The copyright breach case was brought up by a Jaipur based filmmaker Pratik Sharma opposed to Plan C Studios, an association between Reliance Entertainment and Friday Filmworks managed by Neeraj Pandey & Shital Bhatia, and Viacom18 on July 7 in a Jaipur Metropolitan Court.

The filmmaker suspected that the makers of Toilet – Ek Prem Katha have lifted the punch line and the topic from his movie ‘Gutrun Gutar Gun’. S.S. Hora, the counsel of Viacom18, said: “We argued in the court that an initiative or a concept cannot fall under Copyright Act, moreover there’s no infringement of the act. These types of stuff are already in an unrestricted domain and no aid should be given to the appellant.”
