Breaking News Alert: Indian Ocean’s Royalty Rumble!
In a twist worthy of a Bollywood blockbuster, the legendary band Indian Ocean finds itself caught in a tempest of unpaid royalties.
Susmit Sen claims he hasn’t received a single rupee in royalties since 2020. Sunita Chakravarty? She’s been waiting since 2021. The unpaid loot? A cool ₹50 lakh each, give or take a few guitar picks.
The Scoop?
Picture this: Susmit storms into the Mukherjee Nagar police station, guitar pick clenched like a dagger. “Where’s my loot?” he demands, eyes flashing like stage lights. Kandisa Music Productions Pvt Ltd—the company that runs Indian Ocean—sits in the accused chair, looking more uncomfortable than a drummer during a bass solo.
Meanwhile, Rahul and Amit sip chai (or maybe something stronger) in their studio. “NCLT,” they say, as if it’s the secret chord that’ll resolve all disputes. The National Company Law Tribunal—the backstage pass to legal showdowns. But Susmit? He’s still waiting for their call, their text, their smoke signal. Maybe they’re too busy tuning their guitars or contemplating existential lyrics.

The haunting chant echoes through courtrooms and coffee shops alike. Is it a plea for justice or just a catchy tune? We’ll let you decide.
As the sun sets over the NCLT (yes, it’s a dramatic sunset), the unresolved chords hang in the air. Will they reconcile? Will the royalties flow like a perfectly timed drum fill? Or will they break up like a high-strung E string during a solo?
The Band
- Susmit Sen: The co-founder with a guitar slung over his shoulder and a heartache to match. He’s been strumming the strings of justice, demanding what’s rightfully his—those elusive golden coins called royalties.
- Rahul Ram and Amit Kilam: The other two musketeers. They’ve responded with raised eyebrows, leather jackets, and a dash of rockstar nonchalance. Their statement? “Frivolous!” they cry, as if they’re dismissing a pesky mosquito during soundcheck.
- Sunita Chakravarty: The widow of Ashim Chakravarty, the band’s late co-founder. She’s standing by Susmit’s side, eyes narrowed like a hawk spotting an uncredited riff.
