Short answer
The main free and legal options in India are Amazon MX Player and official studio channels on YouTube such as Goldmines and Shemaroo. JioHotstar and ZEE5 also carry some titles at no cost. All of these are licensed, so they are safe and legal, and they cost nothing beyond watching a few ads.

How to tell a free legal source from a pirated one
A legal free platform runs its own ads, has a real company behind it, and does not bombard you with pop-ups or fake download buttons. If a site offers a brand new cinema release for free and pushes you through redirects, it is almost certainly piracy. See our HDHub4u safety guide for the warning signs.
