Today, 5MovieRelz.com is no longer operational, and attempts to access the website result in a "website not found" error. While the website's legacy may still live on in some corners of the internet, its impact on the Tamil film industry has been significant.

The turning point came in 2019, when the Tamil Nadu government launched a crackdown on piracy websites. The police, in coordination with the film industry, arrested several individuals suspected of running these websites, including those associated with 5MovieRelz.com.

The website started gaining traction around 2015-2016, when it began leaking popular Tamil films like "Baasha" and "Jilla". The site's popularity grew rapidly, and it became a go-to destination for Tamil movie enthusiasts who wanted to watch the latest releases without paying for tickets or subscribing to legitimate streaming services.
