Earlier this year, members of the Film Federation of India (FFI) had also asked for the Cinematograph Act to be amended in February. The government, in its response, introduced a bill in Rajya Sabha to impose a strict penalty to combat piracy.  The Indian Express had previously reported that the website keeps switching its domain extension to avoid being caught, and can only be accessed through a proxy server. In the recent past, major big-budget films, including  Dream Girl,  Kaappaan,  _Saaho_ ,  _Judgementall Hai Kya_ ,  _Kabir Singh_ ,  _Bharat_,   India's Most Wanted ,  Kalank ,  Gully Boy ,  De De Pyaar De ,  Student of the Year 2 ,  Thugs of Hindostan,  Adithya Varma and  Simmba  were leaked online. Piracy can play an integral role in hinder the revenue generation of films. So far, Pati Patni Aur Woh has earned Rs 21. 43 crore at the domestic box office. A modern retelling of BR Chopra’s iconic comedy of the same name, it follows a small town public works department officer Chintu Tyagi, who falls in love with Tapasya (Panday), despite being married to Vedika (Pednekar). The film, which opened to mostly mixed reviews from critics, also stars Aparshakti Khurana as Aaryan’s friend.
