The proliferation of websites like Khatrimaza.com and the associated search query OKhatriMazacom had a significant impact on the Bollywood industry. According to a report by the Motion Picture Producers Association (MPAA), piracy costs the Indian film industry approximately ₹1,500 crores (US$220 million) annually.

However, the cat-and-mouse game between authorities and pirates continued, with new websites and mirror sites emerging to fill the void left by blocked domains. This led to a game of whack-a-mole, where authorities would shut down one website, only to have another pop up in its place.

In 2015, Bollywood witnessed the release of several highly anticipated films, including "Bajirao Mastani," "Sultan," and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." As these movies hit theaters, the demand for pirated copies skyrocketed, and websites like Khatrimaza.com became the go-to destinations for those seeking to download or stream these films illegally.
