"Harry Potter" v "Hari Puttar"

http://www.lexisone.com/news/ap/ap092308a.html

Warner Brother's tried to sue in India to stop a Bollywood film called "Hari Puttar" from being released.

Since our class is focused on US law and regulation, I wonder if Warner Brothers can stop the release (or eventual DVD sales) of the movie here in the US?

I think the court made the correct decision in this case. Harry Potter is so popular that the average person will be able to tell a difference between the characters. Also, could this be a parody? It sounded like the movie was going to be a comedy.
