Poo in K3G landed filmmaker Karan Johar in a court case in the UK. The Lesson Behind Poo’s Iconic Entry
Twenty-two years have passed since the release of Poo in K3G in Dharma Productions’ iconic film, “Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham” (K3G). It is a movie that left an indelible mark on Indian cinema.
Shot in part across the UK, it brought forth the unforgettable character of Poo, portrayed impeccably by Kareena Kapoor. Poo’s vivaciousness and charm captured the hearts of audiences. Especially teenagers, making her an enduring subject in discussions about the film even today.
However, behind this cinematic success lies a cautionary tale revealed recently by the filmmaker Karan Johar himself. The iconic entry of Poo, accompanied by the lively track It’s Raining Men. It was a pivotal moment in the film. Sadly, the filmmaker overlooked obtaining commercial rights for the English song before using it in the movie. This misstep led to legal repercussions for Dharma Productions. As they were sued in a UK court for unauthorized commercial use of the song. The consequence? Karan Johar, the head of Dharma Productions, found himself paying a substantial amount as compensation for the potential losses incurred by the song’s rightful owners.
Nevertheless, despite the financial setback caused by the legal dispute, “Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham” emerged as a monumental success, reaping substantial profits for Dharma Productions. It’s safe to say that the film’s triumph overshadowed the inconvenience caused by the lawsuit over the song.

Yet, this incident serves as a crucial lesson not just for Karan Johar but for filmmakers worldwide. It emphasizes the importance of securing rights and permissions before incorporating creative content produced by others into cinematic works. The episode underscores the significance of respecting intellectual property rights to avoid legal entanglements and hefty fines, ensuring a smoother creative process and protecting the interests of all involved parties.
In the realm of filmmaking, where inspiration often draws from various sources, this serves as a stark reminder of the necessity to navigate legalities diligently. Learning from past missteps, filmmakers are encouraged to proactively seek permissions and licenses for any copyrighted material, fostering a culture of creativity that respects and acknowledges the work of others.
As we commemorate the legacy of “Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham,” it’s essential to recognize the silver lining within this cautionary tale—a lesson echoing loud and clear across the cinematic landscape. A reminder that while success may overshadow past missteps, the importance of ethical and legal practices remains integral to the art and business of filmmaking.
