Since Disney owns the franchise, the movie lives on in India and Disney+ globally. As of 2025, it is rarely on Netflix or Amazon Prime unless via a temporary licensing deal.
While downloading for personal use is rarely prosecuted in India, uploading or seeding torrents (which Tamilyogi encourages via peer-to-peer sharing) is a criminal offense. In countries like the US, Germany, or the UK, fines can exceed $10,000 per infringement.
The operation of sites like Tamilyogi is unequivocally illegal. In India, for instance, watching, downloading, or sharing pirated content is considered copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, 1957, and the Cinematograph (Amendment) Act, 2023. The law targets not only those who upload pirated content but also those who knowingly consume it.
