Ajay Devgn-starrer Drishyam: The Conclusion has got protection from the Delhi High Court which has restrained nine websites from hosting, streaming or making available for viewing or downloading the film without authorisation.
As per an ANI report, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, in an order passed on October 1, 2026, said that on a prima facie assessment of the pleadings and material placed before it, the film’s producer Digital18 Media Private Limited had made out a case for grant of an ad-interim ex parte injunction. The court observed that the injury likely to be suffered by the plaintiff may not be adequately remedied in monetary terms and that the balance of convenience and prima facie case were in favour of the plaintiff.
The suit was primarily directed against nine identified websites and unknown websites/persons allegedly involved in making copyrighted content available online without authorisation. Digital18 told the court that these websites had previously been involved in alleged piracy, including of its film Jolly LLB 3, and apprehended that Drishyam: The Conclusion, which was scheduled for release on October 2, would also be made available on the websites.
The court consequently restrained the nine defendants and persons acting on their behalf from communicating, hosting, streaming or making the film available for viewing or downloading without authorisation through their websites or any other online platform.
The court also directed several defendants/intermediaries to immediately suspend, block, disable or deactivate the concerned domain names within 72 hours of receiving the plaintiff’s notice or intimation along with supporting evidence. Government authorities were directed to ensure compliance with the order.
The court further permitted Digital18 to approach domain name registrars, internet service providers and the concerned government department if it subsequently discovered piracy of the film by any other website or person not impleaded in the suit, with directions for necessary action.
Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam 3 is doing well at the box office and is already in the list of the top five highest grossers of the year. The crime-thriller also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Tabu, Prakash Raj and Rajat Kapoor among others.
