Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
http://www.moserbaer.com/he_overview.asp
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.

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
Nice , but the content is not going to be the new releases . Some old movies will be the content. Still good start.

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
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.

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.

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
If Moser Baer gets into such a deal it will incredibly reduce piracy in India

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
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.

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

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
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.

Re: Moser Baer to sell movie DVDs for Rs 34
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?

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.

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
