Now users can legally download movie 3 Idiots, Aamir Khan's latest starrer which will release on Friday, 25th December.
But users will have wait for at least 12 weeks to download the film legally.
3 Idiots is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The cast of the film includes Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan. Kajol will make a special appearance in the film.
3 Idiots is one of the most awaited films of 2009, which has not been a good year for Bollywood.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra revealed that 3 Idiots will be the first Bollywood film that viewers will be allowed to download legally.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, "This is the first film ever that you can actually download and watch on YouTube after 12 weeks from now."
He said that they planned to release the film on the popular website YouTube for those viewers who cannot afford to view the movie in multiplexes.
"I'm providing this facility for those who cannot see it on big screen and watch pirated movies. I just want them to discourage pirated prints. They just need to wait for 12 weeks and after that they can legally download the movie and watch it," said Chopra.
"Tomorrow if there is a facility to watch movies on mobile phones, the film will be available there but in appropriate time. We can't harm our theatrical business by releasing at DTH," Chopra added.
Plot
Two friends (Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend – the irrepressible free thinker Rancho (Aamir Khan), who in his unique way, touched and changed their lives. It's a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). And then one day, suddenly, Rancho vanishes....
