Gold full movie leaked onlineAkshay Kumar Twitter

Akshay Kumar's Gold has fallen prey to piracy after the full movie was leaked online for torrent users to watch and download the film for free.

Just a day after its release on Independence Day, Gold became a victim to the big racket of piracy. A number of illegal websites have made the full movie available for its users with options of either watching it online or downloading it for free.

While some of the pirated copies are of poor quality, some sites claim to have HD print of the film as well. Although Gold witnessed an overwhelming response at the box office as it collected over Rs 25 crore on its first day, this news of the full movie been leaked online would surely appear as a concern for the producers as it is likely to affect its collection to some extent.

Piracy has become a huge problem for Bollywood, and it seems there is no way to end it. Despite the government and the industry taking strong measures to curb the menace, almost every movie gets leaked online within a day of its release.

In some more unfortunate cases, films are hit by piracy before the official release, which causes major losses for the producers. Films like Manjhi: The Mountain Man, Great Grand Masti among others are examples from recent past that were leaked before the official release date.
