Sitaare Zameen Par hit the big screens on July 10 and received a massively positive response. Headlined by Aamir Khan, the movie will not stream on OTT, as confirmed by the actor himself. Seemingly irked by this one-of-a-kind policy, an Instagram user has uploaded the entire movie on Instagram via reels.

Sitaare Zameen Par falls prey to big piracy

The motive behind uploading the scenes remains unclear, and it is also uncertain whether the makers of Sitaare Zameen Par are aware of the major piracy act. It must be noted that movie piracy is a violation of copyright law and is punishable under the Copyright Act, of 1957, and the Information Technology Act, of 2000. Legal consequences might be applicable for unauthorised recording, exhibition, or distribution of films, including online streaming and downloads of the movie.

Aamir Khan has taken a bold decision not to sell the digital rights of his film Sitaare Zameen Par. In a time when films debut on streaming platforms within weeks of theatrical release, the actor has decided to reserve the sports drama for the big screens. In a special screening of the movie in Mumbai, Aamir said, “Since I haven't sold the OTT rights and our film is not releasing on OTT, isliye shayad All India Theatre Owners have decided to felicitate me for the step that I have taken. I am happy that they thought about it.” The no OTT clause might be a trigger for notorious internet users to leak the movie online.
