Pattas,
the
mass
entertainer
that
features
Dhanush
in
a
double
role
was
released
on
January
15,
Wednesday
as
a
Pongal
special
release.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Pattas
has
now
become
the
latest
victim
of
the
increasing
piracy
in
Tamil
cinema.
Shockingly,
the
full
movie
has
been
leaked
online
by
Tamilrockers.
The
Dhanush
starrer
is
the
latest
prey
of
the
Tamilrockers
team,
who
had
leaked
some
recently
released
films
including
Rajinikanth
starrer
Darbar,
Telugu
flicks
Ala
Vaikuntapurramuloo
and
Sarileru
Neekevvaru,
Bollywood
releases
Chhapaak
and
Tanhaji,
etc.,
in
the
very
recent
past.
Sadly,
the
authorities
are
unable
to
put
a
stop
to
the
activities
of
Tamirockers,
due
to
various
reasons.
According
to
the
reports,
Tamilrockers
keep
on
changing
their
extensions
thus
making
it
difficult
to
trace
them
and
stop
their
activities.
Despite
blocking
the
site
several
times,
Tamilrockers
keeps
reappearing
using
different
extensions.
The
viewers
can
also
access
the
website
using
proxy
sites,
which
makes
things
more
difficult.
Pattas
revolves
around
the
characters
Thiraviyam
Perumal
and
son
Shakti,
both
played
by
Dhanush.
The
movie,
which
is
based
on
Adimurai,
the
ancient
martial
arts
form
which
was
practiced
by
Cholas
and
was
invented
much
before
Kalari
Payattu,
is
directed
by
Durai
Senthilkumar.
Sneha
Prasanna
and
Mehreen
Pirzada
appeared
as
the
female
leads
opposite
Dhanush
in
the
movie.
The
mass
entertainer
which
marked
the
second
collaboration
of
Dhanush
and
director
Durai
Senthilkumar
after
Kodi,
has
been
receiving
mixed
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
As
per
the
reports,
Pattas
has
made
a
decent
opening
at
the
box
office,
even
though
it
has
not
been
able
to
touch
the
collections
of
Darbar,
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
which
was
released
last
week.
However,
trade
experts
suggest
that
the
box
office
performance
of
the
Dhanush
starrer
might
get
affected
after
the
full
movie
was
leaked
online,
that
too
in
the
HD
format.
