'Sachin: A Billion Dreams' latest victim of piracy

Hardly 24 hours post the release of the most awaited biopic of Indian Cinema, i.e. ‘Sachin: A billion dreams’, reports of leaked copy of the movie has surfaced. The movie is readily available online with a good quality version of it. Crediting to the work of some of the illegal websites, the movie is also available for online streaming.

Piracy has plagued the country since the onset of the new millennium and access to the internet to a common man. Be it music or movies, the producers, and the distributors are the worst hit due to piracy. However, the Department of Communication has lately been able to curb the damage by restricting some of the site’s access by enforcing laws in the country.

Many torrent sites and online streaming sites are currently unavailable these days as per instruction from the government. As the movie is available in good quality online, the masses would opt to enjoy the movie without actually paying for the ticket. This causes a lot of financial harm to the distributors. The entire film industry has taken adequate measures to curb this malpractice.

Sachin’s biopic earns 8.4 crores already

Having said that, many of the ardent Sachin Tendulkar fans might still opt to watch the movie in theaters to enjoy the cinematic experience. Having released on May 26, the movie already accumulated a whopping 8.4 crores on the opening day as the movie lovers rather would want to enjoy the movie on 70mm screen rather than an inferior print of the movie.

The movie encompasses the story Sachin Tendulkar- the cricketer and the person. The biopic gives us a detailed overview of the life of greatest batsman to have ever played the game of Cricket, right from his childhood to his last international innings and post-retirement endeavours. All in all, it is a must watch for the cricket-frenzied country in theaters rather than in an inferior quality print.
