Filmyzilla is a notorious online platform that has been facilitating the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content, including movies, TV shows, and music. The website has been operating in the shadows, evading law enforcement and copyright holders, and has become a go-to destination for those seeking to download or stream pirated content.

On February 23, 2018, just a day after its official release, the Aiyaary movie was leaked on Filmyzilla, allowing users to download the film for free. The leak was a significant blow to the film’s producers, who had invested heavily in the project. The pirated version of the movie was available in various resolutions, including 480p, 720p, and 1080p, making it easily accessible to a wide audience.

Moreover, piracy also affects the livelihoods of thousands of people involved in the film industry, including actors, directors, writers, and crew members. The economic consequences of piracy are far-reaching, with estimates suggesting that the Indian film industry loses hundreds of crores of rupees every year due to piracy.
