The leaked second trailer of Ramayana in October 2023 exposed piracy risks before its November 5 release. Gadgilwar Media Private Limited filed a copyright violation petition, citing prior leaks of trailers and widespread piracy concerns. The ₹4,000 crore budget—₹2,000 crore for the first part—highlighted the urgency to safeguard intellectual property.
On November 3, 2023, the Bombay High Court granted an ad interim injunction to block unauthorized recording, uploading, and streaming of Ramayana. The order required ISPs, telecom companies, and social media platforms to remove or block pirated content upon Gadgilwar Media’s complaints. Justice Madhava Jamdar emphasized prohibiting any unauthorized copying or broadcasting.
The court’s interim orders mandated real-time removal of leaked trailers and pirated copies, ensuring compliance from digital platforms. Cybercrime complaints were filed to trace and block piracy-related activities, reinforcing the legal framework against unauthorized distribution.
