Mattel controversy

[edit | edit source]

The Delhi High Court issued a notice to the producers of the film for using the word "Barbie" in a song without the permission of Mattel Inc, the manufacturers of the trademark Barbie dolls. The single judge bench of Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, however, refused to grant ex-parte injunction against the toy company. The court also noted that the plea may be considered at the notice stage.

Mattel told the court in its plea that the song and its lyrics have been used "in a manner antagonistic to the values and interests of the customers target base, the plaintiffs cater to". The song, which features actor Sunny Leone, is "provocative and inappropriate for younger girls and children, tarnishing and degrading the distinctive quality of the Barbie", the company said.

Justice Endlaw noted that courts in the United States had held that music companies’ use of "Barbie" in a song was not an infringement of the toy manufacturer's trademark. Quoting from an older judgment passed by the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit from 2002, the judge said, "The parties are advised to chill.”

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Reza Noorani of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5, saying that, "With weak performances, forced VFX and a badly structured script, 'Tera Intezaar' is a film where you will be waiting desperately for the end credits to roll."[9] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of 0 out of 5 saying that, "From performing planchette to listening conversations via paintings, Tera Intezaar can entertain you at many levels."[10] Prasanna D Zore of Rediff gave the film a rating of 0.5 out of 5 and said that, "There is nothing in Tera Intezaar to keep you hooked."[11] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film a rating of 0 out of 5 and criticized the film, saying that, "Who made this film? Why was it made? Who was it made for? Is it even a film?"[12] Namrata Joshi of The Hindu criticized the film saying that, "'Tera Intezaar' is the prime candidate for bagging "So Bad That It Is Too Good" award of 2017".[13] Bollywood Hungama gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and said that, "Tera Intezaar has a jumbled plot line that lacks logic and fails to establish any connect. It neither succeeds in telling a supernatural story nor does it manage to act as a quintessential love story."[14] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film a rating of 0.5 out of 5 saying that, "You might ask: why does this film deserve even half a star? Well, it is for whoever it is who dared to believe that Tera Intezaar could be passed off as cinema. Takes loads of guts or a whole lot of stupidity!"[15]
