Hi. In the narrow conspectus of facts narrated by you, you can choose to initiate civil as well as criminal proceedings for actions mentioned in your query. As far as civil action is concerned you can initiate infringment proceedings under the Copyright Act. As far as criminal proceedings are concerned you can choose to initiate proceedings under the Indian Penal Code read-with Information & Technology Act.

since most of the projected works are covered by registered copyright, any reproduction of the same would be a punishable offence under copyright act. Any damages caused by reproduction of such copied work is recoverable from the offender.
And making video of any copyright work is an offence.

Hello, No it's a criminal offence according to Rights to information act, nobody can take video without permission. Even according to our constitution, No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law. Please take an legal action against that person.
