If ur marriage is not solemnised after engagement and u have no relation with that girl. The engagement is not marriage, without marriage their is no question of dowry. So there's no offense in eye of law.

This is your fault before court marriage you can tell /convence the Girl or her family about this situation now you can ask her family to settle the expense on engagement either she and her family can file a Complaint of dowry demand on the bases of video's /photos. This is a breach of contract.
