Dulquer Salmaan, Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar's recently released film Karwaan has become the latest victim of online piracy as illegal sites have opened gates to download the full movie or online streaming for free.
The illegal sites have released Karwaan full movie download links with 1080p or 720p HD quality prints from unofficial servers. The movie has already taken a slow start at the box office and earned merely Rs 1.5 crore on the opening day. The full movie download is likely to hit the film's box office collection to a large extent.
Some of the pirated copies seems to have been shot from a handy camera with average print quality while some have made HD quality prints available.
Despite getting good reviews from critics, people chose to give Karwaan a miss in theatres. They may prefer to watch the Akarsh Khurana directorial by downloading the movie from a few illegal torrent sites.
However, this is not the first time a Bollywood movie has been hit by piracy. Earlier, movies like Race 3, Sanju, Udta Punjab, Great Grand Masti and Manjhi - The Mountain Man have also been leaked online which affected their overall box office performance at the domestic market.
Karwaan revolves around 3 oddballs from different walks of life who are thrown together on a somewhat bizarre journey, which helps them find normalcy in their lives. It is a road trip on which some crazy adventures take place, some lines are crossed, some bonds are forged, detours are made, experiences are shared and secrets are revealed. An uneasy alliance is formed between three unlikely co-passengers on an eventful journey from Bangalore to Ooty to Kumarakom and finally to Kochi.
