Daaku Maharaaj Leaked Online Just Hours After Theatrical Release
This incident follows a troubling trend where numerous South Indian films have faced similar fates shortly after their theatrical releases

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s latest film, Daaku Maharaaj, was released in theatres on January 12, 2025, but unfortunately fell victim to piracy just hours after its debut.
The South Indian film, directed by Bobby Kolli, has been leaked online in HD quality, making it available on various illegal streaming platforms such as Filmyzilla, Movierulez, and Tamilrockerz.
The cast of the film includes Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol, Urvashi Rautela, Shraddha Srinath, and Pragya Jaiswal.
The movie revolves around the character Nanaji, who protects his family from a drug-related case. It has garnered significant attention for its action sequences and engaging narrative, although it has received mixed reviews regarding its overall execution.
Despite the excitement surrounding its release and strong box office performance initially, the leak has sparked outrage among fans and industry professionals alike. Many have expressed their disappointment on social media, calling for stronger measures against piracy.
The ongoing issue of film piracy not only threatens the financial success of movies but also undermines the hard work of the cast and crew involved in their production. In India, strict laws exist under the Copyright Act to combat such illegal activities, with severe penalties for offenders.
