Optical storage and devices maker Moser Baer will foray into the entertainment space through the Indian home video market.

According to a release issued by Moser Baer to the BSE, the company will release video content on DVD and Video CD formats using its proprietary and patented technology.

Its new division is in final negotiations to acquire copyrights of more than 7,000 titles in all major Indian languages.

"The initiative will enable us to offer high quality titles at Rs 28-34 for VCDs and DVDs," Yogesh Mathur, group CFO of Moser Baer, said.

Nice , but the content is not going to be the new releases . Some old movies will be the content. Still good start.

mail2and · 23-12-2006, 03:25 PM

There is an article in today's Eco Times that major production houses are not too keen on selling the rights at rates that Moser Baer is offering.

Are most crap hindi movies worth spending even 34 bucks on? MoserBaer is being extremely fair IMO.

There are good ones too, which will be released at this rate. Movies like 'Dhoop', 'Wedded Bliss', 'Shadows of Time' etc, will also be sold I guess, as their production houses will sell them for cheap.

blackpearl · 23-12-2006, 07:00 PM

This will be good. I hope its out soon.

nishant_nms · 23-12-2006, 07:52 PM

If Moser Baer gets into such a deal it will incredibly reduce piracy in India

damnthenet · 23-12-2006, 08:04 PM

Yes...the less price shouldn't bother producers as there will be a balance due to high sale if the idea clicks

It's a good thing that I have started using emoticons. That'll stop the negative reps I get. Atleast, I hope so.

The producers don't get a cut on the sales. They sell the rights for a fixed amount. It is upto the company that buys distribution rights to recover their investment.

rajasekharan · 06-01-2007, 02:55 AM

I wanted to see old titles selling for 30 rs . . Those are great movies

. The new ones are utter waist . Not worth for rs 30 .

24online · 06-01-2007, 12:46 PM

any online or city store ???

led_shankar · 06-01-2007, 04:11 PM

Hey this is wonderful! I hope I'll get to see some 'regional' movies through this scheme

rajasekharan · 06-01-2007, 07:01 PM

.. i want all in dvds...

magnet · 23-02-2007, 09:56 PM

frm when this stuff will get started.....getting old movies of guru dutt and balraj sahni is worth the buks.......

casanova · 23-02-2007, 10:49 PM

Great news. Time to make a huge collection or perhaps call it a library

joey_182 · 23-02-2007, 10:54 PM

hmm...gr8 news...
collection of old movies..

Tech.Masti · 24-02-2007, 02:09 AM

a first good step to decrease piracy..... but if they offer good old movies...it will be really good....but at last, can they able to do that?? LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR DISTURBING A GOOD WORK...

caleb · 24-02-2007, 02:53 AM

This is great, if they sell good old hindi movies for Rs.34/- it'd be a fantastic deal...but I hope they don't sell "Reshma ki Jawani" & "Shakuntala ki Bistar" kinda stuff for that cheap price.

aryayush · 24-02-2007, 09:40 AM

No English titles?

caleb · 24-02-2007, 09:44 AM

^^I wonder if it is possible for them to sell English movies at Rs.34/-

Ethan_Hunt · 24-02-2007, 11:07 AM

I doubt they can 'sell' it for that el cheapo price.Considering that fact that most recent DVD's have a relatively high price tag,it would not not be feasible to sell the latest title at such rates.Today even a local DVD parlour can't rent VCD's for such low prices leave alone selling them.

If they can pull this one off then must be something extra ordinary.BTW where's the source of this news? Any links?

cooldip10 · 24-02-2007, 01:53 PM

Cooooool

This will make the DVD writer price go down also.

Oh c'mon, I can get VCDs at a rent if Rs. 5 per day. It is THAT cheap.

It is a different matter, however, that I wouldn't be caught dead watching a VCD. The quality sucks.

nix · 24-02-2007, 05:43 PM

this is good. it will help reduce piracy. i will buy from them if they have the movies i would want. i also heard that some companyis going to selll songs for rs.12 per song. i think its online download mp3. that is not that cheap but its something... a good start indeed.

ssdivisiongermany1933 · 25-02-2007, 11:50 AM

Rs 12 for a single Mp3 is no no .I can get A Mp3 CD for Rs 20

Well, you can get it for free also. The point is that a legal MP3 is a lot less expensive than buying the thing.

Of course, a true audiophile wouldn't be caught dead choosing mp3s over CDs or vinyl
