"Band Baaja Baaraat" was a romantic comedy film directed by Shaashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The movie starred Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in lead roles and received positive reviews from critics. However, just a few days after its release, the movie was leaked on Filmyzilla and other piracy websites. This led to a significant loss for the filmmakers, who estimated that the movie lost crores of rupees due to piracy.
