Short answer: In almost all cases, no.
Even if you do not upload the file — simply downloading from an open directory is illegal in most jurisdictions unless the copyright holder has explicitly allowed free distribution (which YRF has not).
An “index of” page is a directory listing generated automatically by a web server (usually Apache or Nginx) when no default homepage (like index.html) exists. Instead of showing a website, the server displays a simple list of all files and subfolders inside that directory.
For example, if a server stores video files in a folder named /movies/ and directory indexing is enabled, you might see: index of mere brother ki dulhan updated
Index of /movies/
Parent directory
MereBrotherKiDulhan_2011.mp4
MereBrotherKiDulhan.srt

These directories are not meant for public access — they exist because of server misconfigurations. Search engines like Google sometimes crawl and index these pages, leading to results like “index of mere brother ki dulhan.”
If you truly need an offline digital file (not just streaming), these legal methods allow you to download to your device:
None of these give you a raw .mp4 file to share, but that’s intentional – it protects the filmmakers’ livelihoods. Short answer: In almost all cases, no
The plot adheres to the classic "mistaken identity" trope popularized by Hollywood films like The Philadelphia Story or My Best Friend's Wedding, but with a distinct Punjabi flavor. Kush (Imran Khan) is a "good for nothing" assistant director in London who is tasked by his brother, Luv (Ali Zafar), to find him a suitable Indian bride. Kush shortlists several women, but the final choice is Dimple (Katrina Kaif)—a free-spirited, rebellious girl Kush knew in college.
The twist? As the wedding preparations commence, Kush realizes he has fallen in love with his brother’s fiancée. The rest of the film revolves around the chaotic attempt to break the engagement without breaking hearts.
Formulaic Writing: Writer-director Ali Abbas Zafar (who would later go on to direct massive blockbusters like Tiger Zinda Hai) relies heavily on stereotypes. The Army father, the crying mother, and the goofy friends feel like leftovers from 90s Bollywood. If you dislike films where characters randomly break into song at weddings, this isn't for you. Even if you do not upload the file
Predictability: You know exactly how the movie is going to end within the first 20 minutes. There are no real stakes. The conflict feels manufactured, and the resolution is convenient.
