However, Filmyzilla's actions are not without consequences. The website has faced several shutdowns and blocking attempts by the Indian government and other authorities. In 2020, the Indian government blocked over 100 piracy websites, including Filmyzilla, in an effort to curb online piracy.

The film "9" (2019) was released on August 2, 2019, and within days, it became available on Filmyzilla and other piracy websites. The film's availability on such platforms was a significant blow to the filmmakers, who had invested considerable time, money, and effort into producing the movie.

The effects of piracy on the film industry are multifaceted:

Downloading films from Filmyzilla or similar piracy websites poses several risks. These sites often host malicious software, including malware and viruses, which can compromise the user's device and personal data. Additionally, downloading copyrighted content without permission is a punishable offense in many countries, including India.
