FILM GETS LEAKED ONLINE, RELEASE ADVANCED

Reports suggest that the release of the Hindi film Great Grand Masti, scheduled for July 22nd will now be advanced to July 15. If reports are to be believed, this advance release is because of the online leak of the film which is available in HD print also.
 

The Crime Branch has arrested nine individuals under the Copyright Act in connection with the leak. While there have been a few suggestions like submitting the movie in DCP (Digital Cinema Projection) format instead of the DVD mode, we wish such leaks are curbed.
 

Recently, there were movies which got leaked with the logo "Censor Board copy". Udta Punjab also suffered this fate where it got leaked a few days before it’s theatrical release. While both the movies (Udta Punjab and Great Grand Masti) are produced by Ekta Kapoor, both were stuck with the Censor Board for the objectionable content, and later on getting passed with an “A” certificate.
