The Impact of Piracy on 'Dhurandhar'

Mumbai: The much-anticipated film Dhurandhar, featuring Ranveer Singh, hit theaters on December 5, but it was quickly compromised by online piracy within hours of its debut.

Various illegal streaming sites have made the film available in a range of qualities, from low-resolution 240p to high-definition 1080p, allowing easy access to viewers through unauthorized channels. The issue of film piracy has been a long-standing challenge for Indian filmmakers, who continue to face this problem despite ongoing government efforts to combat it.

With Dhurandhar now part of a troubling trend, it follows other recent releases like Tere Ishk Mein and De De Pyaar De 2 that also faced similar fates shortly after their launches.

The film's cast has received significant acclaim, with audiences praising its patriotic narrative, impressive performances, and the strong direction by Aditya Dhar.

However, viewers are concerned that the piracy issue could negatively impact the film's box office success.

Despite garnering positive reviews from both critics and audiences, the spy action thriller has unfortunately fallen victim to piracy on various platforms, including Filmyzilla, afilmywap, Mp4Moviez, and CoolMoviez.
