flag Composer Ilaiyaraaja seeks court order to block film *Dude* over alleged unauthorized use of his classic songs.

flag Tamil composer Ilaiyaraaja has sought a court injunction to block the release of the film *Dude* over allegations of unauthorized use of two of his classic songs, 'Nooru Varusham' and 'Karutha Machan.' flag The Madras High Court has reserved its order on the plea, which claims the film’s producer, Mythri Movie Makers, used the music without proper permission, violating copyright. flag Ilaiyaraaja’s team argues the reuse constitutes infringement and seeks removal of the songs and disclosure of profits. flag The producer claims rights were obtained from Sony Music, which holds current copyright, citing older copyright laws. flag The court acknowledged rising concerns over unauthorized reuse of vintage film music, with a decision pending.
