Fans are elated that the Madras High Court has lifted the ban on Aamir Khan's Ghajini. Earlier you will recall that the court had imposed a ban on the film's worldwide screeing after allegations of copyright violation. The box office advance booking for Ghajini has now even crossed that of Singh is Kinng, creating a new record.
Justice V Dhanapalan and N Satyanarayanan of the High Court bench allowed its release. A Chandrasekaran, the producer of the original Tamil film of the same name, had filed a suit alleging that the producers of the Hindi remake had "fabricated documents to claim ownership over the remake rights".
Justice S B Karnik of the Bombay High Court said the film can be released as scheduled but also asked director A R Murugadoss to file an affidavit on Friday clearing his stand. Insiders say that at least Rs 1.2 billion went into the making of the film. On the Hindi version's publicity alone Rs.140 million have been spent!
