Anthaku Minchi has become the latest victim of piracy as the full movie was leaked on torrent sites for 'free download or watch online'. This is likely to take a toll on its collection at the box office.
A notorious gang allegedly recorded Anthaku Minchi during its screening in a cinema hall and released the full movie on its website for free download days after it hit the screens. The website offers five different versions of the film for download. This pirated copy has already spread to other websites in no time.
The website reads, "Anthaku Minchi (2018) Telugu Real DVDScr - Line Audio - [720p - DVDScr - x264 - MP3 - 1.4GB] - [DVDScr - 700MB - x264 - 1CD - MP3] - [DVDScr - XviD - 700MB - MP3] - [DVDScr - 400MB - x264 - MP3] - [DVDScr - 200MB - x264 - MP3]"
Anthaku Minchi revolves around the story of a happy-go-lucky guy named Raju, who dreams of becoming a millionaire. The movie has been written and directed by Jhony and actors Jai and Rashmi Gautam have played the lead roles in the film, which has Sunil Kashyap's music.
Anthaku Minchi is a small-budget movie and it lacked star power, hype and promotion to boost its collection at the box office. The movie did not get enough screens at cinema halls and had to share them with three other new Telugu releases. On top at that, the movie also opened to mixed reviews, which partially took a toll on its collection at the ticket counters.
Anthaku Minchi is now facing another big challenge in the form of piracy. The word of mouth and unavailability in nearby theatres might force some viewers to download the full film or watch it online. If this happens, it will take a blow on its business at the box office. It may also incur losses to its producers and distributors.
