Controversy[edit | edit source]
The platform Ullu is heavily criticised for promoting adult content. In 2020 media reported that the Ullu featured adult and explicit content during the COVID-19 pandemic to gain more subscribers.[13][14] In 2019 the makers of D-code accused the platform of not making efforts to curb piracy of the show as intimate clips from the series made way to porn sites."This is on-screen molestation," Kajal shankawar describes the situation for wrongfully edited intimate scenes.[15]
