According to SimilarWeb data, searches for "uwatch hindi movies" spiked by 400% within 24 hours of Jawan 's release. The film earned ₹1,160 crore globally, but piracy sites recorded an estimated 50 million illegal streams, equating to a potential loss of ₹400 crore.
When a film like Radhe or Thugs of Hindostan is leaked online, the theatrical run is cannibalized. The Indian film industry loses an estimated estimated thousands of crores annually to piracy. Uwatchfree and similar sites (like Tamilrockers or Filmyzilla) effectively devalued the cinematic experience, turning a communal event into a solitary, illicit download.
