Bollywood films like Badhaai Ho and Namaste England, which released last week can already be found here. Hollywood movies like First Man and Venom, along with regional ones like Kayamkulam Kochunni, Sandakozhi 2, Aravindha Sametha and U Turn are also available for free download on the website.

Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane’s Netflix show Sacred Games was also illegally ripped, just like its other show, The Haunting of Hill House.

When ’s latest film Vada Chennai also became a victim, the fans of the actor-producer had to urge others not to watch the pirated version. The website recently faced the wrath of fans too when Kaala was leaked within a day of its release. Action taken against Tamilrockers Although the URL itself is blocked by the government, Tamilrockers can be easily accessed by proxy servers. The Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) has an Anti-Piracy Cell that regularly posts lists of domains which it keeps blocking to stop piracy. Tamilrockers’ name is omnipresent. TFPC had on October 20 shared a list of domain names on Twitter which it has suspended, including Tamilrockers, after it leaked Veda Chennai and Sandakozhi 2.
Even Twitter regularly tracks fake accounts of Tamilrockers for sharing links of the leaked movies. Though it has brought temporary relief to filmmakers, it won’t be surprising if Tamilrockers returns soon.
