However, the consequences of using such platforms are severe. Not only do they deprive the film industry of revenue, but they also compromise the security and integrity of the movies. Pirated copies of movies often contain malware and viruses, which can harm users' devices and compromise their personal data.

Tamilrockers is a website that was initially known for providing pirated copies of Tamil movies. However, over the years, the platform has expanded its reach to include movies from other languages, including Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi. The website allows users to download or stream movies without obtaining the necessary permissions from the copyright holders.

According to a report by the Malayalam Film Producers Association, the industry loses around ₹100 crores annually due to piracy. The association has been working closely with the government to curb online piracy and has taken measures to prevent the unauthorized distribution of movies.
