In a move that has sent ripples through the Indian film industry, Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series has officially secured the music rights for the highly anticipated fifth installment of the Golmaal franchise. Reliable industry sources suggest the deal was closed for a staggering amount of approximately Rs 9 crore, marking one of the highest music acquisitions for a comedy film in recent times.
A High-Stakes Partnership
The Golmaal series, directed by Rohit Shetty, is widely regarded as one of the most successful “brands” in Indian cinema. T-Series head Bhushan Kumar is reportedly very confident in the film’s musical potential, believing the franchise’s established popularity will translate into massive digital and streaming numbers.
An industry insider noted, “The brand value of Golmaal is immense. T-Series didn’t hesitate to invest Rs 9 crore because the music in Rohit Shetty films—whether it’s high-energy dance tracks or nostalgic remixes—always strikes a chord with the masses.”
Mending Fences
This deal is particularly noteworthy given the recent history between the two powerhouses. Relations between T-Series and Rohit Shetty were reportedly strained during the Diwali 2024 box office clash, when Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again went head-to-head. The tension peaked when T-Series issued a copyright strike against the Singham Again title track, forcing Shetty’s team to rework the composition just days before the release.
However, the acquisition of Golmaal 5’s rights signals a “thaw” in their professional relationship. T-Series has been a long-time collaborator with Shetty, having partnered on 12 of his 15 previous directorial ventures.
