New Delhi: Fear of Piracy hovers over Pathaan like any other awaited movie. Pathaan’s countdown has begun with less than a day to its release. And many Pirated movie websites are trying to have the upper hand.
Team Pathaan has made big efforts to prepare for the day of release, i.e 25th January. From back-breaking promotions to shutting down trolls and notorious outfits, the film team is making their best efforts. But the question is, has Pathaan fallen prey to movie pirates? Let’s the if there is any truth in the claims of such cyber criminals.
What is the claim?
Sites such as Tamil Rockers, MobieRulz, 123movies, Worldfree4u, The pirate bay, and other torrent sites are claiming to leak Pathaan tomorrow right after its release.
These movie pirates record from the theatre secretly and then upload the movie ‘for free’ on their sites. In other cases, sometimes via distributors, the movie is leaked to certain sites.
Reason behind Pathaan leak
Since many people are protesting against Pathaan and making efforts to hamper its success, movie leaking claims can also be a part of this bigger conspiracy.
The Truth
Piracy is a criminal offense under IPC and we strictly advise everyone to not partake in it. Even if Pathaan gets uploaded on piracy sites tomorrow, it can still get taken down if it comes to the notice of the right authorities.
Although, it is very unlikely that such an attempt affect the sales of Pathaan as the movie has already stepped the game with advance bookings. Many theatres are already Housefull with shows starting as early as 6 AM. Speculations are that Pathaan will land in the 100 crore club with not much toil.
