One of the "selling points" of Mahafilm21 is speed. While legal platforms often wait for a specific licensing window (usually months after a film leaves theaters), Mahafilm21 often hosts CAM or web-rip versions of a film just days after its theatrical release. For impatient fans, this is a massive draw.
