Regarding the keyword "2018 better", I'm assuming it might refer to the quality or availability of content on Khatrimaza in 2018.
Why 2018 Was a "Better" Year for the Site (and Worse for Studios)
In 2018, Khatrimaza was reportedly one of the most popular websites for downloading Bollywood movies and TV shows. The website offered a wide range of content, including new releases and classic films.
While the term "better" might describe the content library of the time, the security and legal aspects of the site were far from ideal.
1. File Integrity and "The Print Scam"
2018: Files were usually genuine. You downloaded Simmba (2018).HC.HDRip.mp4 and it was exactly the 1.1GB file with decent 5.1 audio. Post-2021: The site became infamous for "The Print" scam—users download a 2GB movie only to find it is a compressed .RAR file that requires a password, or worse, a 45-minute "print screen" of the movie recorded on a smartphone in a theater.
