What' The first film had documented the life of the great saint. The movie film also delved into situations involving youth-related issues like drug abuse and alcoholism. The film was released in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. However, in the sequel Babaji has taken it upon himself to fight for the tribals of the country. The film is apparently based on the struggle in the lives of the tribals and how the saint manages to solve all their problems with his magic touch. All that bling couldn't have been for nothing!
John Doe is a pre-emptive legal measure to curtail piracy of films through all mediums and is applicable in India.

The order applies to all those websites which allow their users/customers to download/stream films without proper licence from the film's copyright owner and also to ISPs which make their platform available to their customers to download/stream films without proper licence.
