In 2021, Tamil Rockers faced several shutdowns and domain seizures. In January 2021, the website was shut down by the Tamil Nadu Police's cybercrime cell, and several of its domains were seized. However, the website quickly bounced back, launching new domains and mirror sites.

TamilRockers is a website that has been around since 2011, infamous for leaking Tamil movies, as well as films from other Indian languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The site has faced numerous shutdowns and blocking attempts by the Indian government and law enforcement agencies over the years.
