The widespread leak of Param Sundari across multiple platforms, available in formats ranging from low-quality 240p to high-definition 1080p, has raised alarms in the film industry, as piracy undermines financial returns and devalues the hard work of filmmakers. Under Indian copyright law, accessing pirated content can lead to severe penalties, including fines of up to Rs 2 lakh and potential imprisonment. Cybersecurity experts warn that piracy sites often harbor malware, spyware, and phishing scams, putting users at risk of identity theft and financial fraud.

Additionally, pirated versions of the film suffer from poor picture quality, disruptive watermarks, and degraded audio, ruining the viewing experience and sometimes redirecting users to harmful content like adult material or fraud schemes, which can be particularly dangerous for younger audiences. Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra’s wife, praised the film, calling it “pure magic” on social media, highlighting its appeal.
