In other news, on March 20, a case was registered by the South Cyber Police Station of the Mumbai crime branch following a complaint by Rajat Rahul Haksar, the CEO of August Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., an anti-piracy agency working for Maddock Films Pvt. Ltd.

The complaint pertains to the unauthorized circulation of the Hindi movie 'Chhaava', which was illegally made available on various digital platforms.

'Chhaava', a much-anticipated Hindi film, was released across India on February 14, 2025. It became a victim of piracy. According to the complainant, the film was unlawfully distributed through a staggering 1,818 internet links, thereby breaching copyright laws and severely undermining the film's legitimate theatrical release.

The piracy issue is really concerning. People don't realize how much it hurts the industry. Glad it's coming to Netflix legally now - will definitely watch it there to support the makers.

While I appreciate the effort, I felt the second half dragged a bit. The cinematography was stunning though, and Rashmika Mandanna surprised me with her performance.
