The film industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the rise of digital platforms and social media changing the way movies are consumed. However, piracy remains a major challenge for the industry, with many films being leaked online before their official release. One such film is "Jab Tak Hai Jaan," a Bollywood romantic drama released in 2012. This paper will analyze the impact of piracy on the film industry, using "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" as a case study.

Piracy also affects the creative process, as filmmakers may feel discouraged to invest in new projects due to the fear of piracy. This can lead to a lack of innovation and creativity in the industry, as well as a decline in the overall quality of films.

"Jab Tak Hai Jaan" was one of the most anticipated films of 2012, with a production budget of approximately ₹ 80 crores (approximately $11.2 million USD). The film's release was highly anticipated, but it was also heavily pirated. The film was leaked online on various platforms, including Filmyzilla, on the same day as its release.
