Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi Leaked Online Hours After Release: Will Piracy Affect Box Office Collections?

Ajith Kumar’s much awaited thriller action film ‘ Vidaamuyarchi’ finally hit theaters on February 6th. The fans are eagerly rushing to cinemas after two years of waiting. Early reviews revealed that the film is a masterclass in suspense with special mention of Ajith Kumar’s powerful performance. However amidst the excitement of the movie’s release, disappointing news has come. That Vidaamuyarchi has fallen victim to piracy just after the first show, the movie is leaked.
The movie leaked online within hours of its release and became accessible on several pirate websites like Telegram. Such a mass leakage can create havoc in the movie’s box office collection. Piracy has always been one of the significant threats to the earnings of a movie and Vidaamuyarchi will be one such movie which is going to suffer financially with such ease.
While the fans of Ajith Kumar continue to flock to theaters, the online leak might probably affect the movie’s box office collection. The early circulation of pirated versions and this close to release time might ensure that many manage to watch it from their homes, thus bypassing the theater experience.
In the cinema industry where box office collections are the real success of a film, piracy is a very serious threat. It remains to be seen whether Vidaamuyarchi can still sustain strong performance at the box office or whether the leak will take a significant toll on its earnings
