With the launch of Moser Baer Home Video, will Video Piracy in India be thing of past  ? Delhi based Moser Baer Ltd which was in the production of CD / DVDs for the global market changed its direction when Ratul Puri got involved in day today managment of the company. Moser Baer has licensed content from Bollywood and for regional content producers.

The website mostly has collection of old movie titles and most movies are priced at mere  Rs 28 for the VCD version and Rs 34 for the DVD. The company has appointed distributors across the country to sell them through audio/video outlets or telecom outlets. Moser Baer is also in talks with various producres to acquire more licenses.

Earlier in Jan, when Moser Baer first launched in Tamilnadu, I had spoken to online DVD retailers / rental cos and they seem to be happy with the competition. Lets hope the audio / video quality on DVDs is really upto international standards.

  1. Let me repeat this, I’ve already commented on this topic earlier. However it was in a different context.

    “Remember those days in the 80s to 90s where every Indian just watched those pirated Bollywood movie VHS tapes on video….desperately watched regardless of the f*****-up quality. ”

    First of all I’ve to say that all of us who watch this screwed up quality videos are to be blamed. We have no pride. We encourage such cheap quality videos.

    Now since the entire system is screwed up, the Bollywood film makers must also be blamed more than the public. They have NO pride either. The very name “Bollywood” itself is a copy of “Hollywood”. It is supposed to be a creative professionals industry, the very origin of it is a sham. How can we expect to see anything creative and genuine from this virtual organization “Bollywood”.

    My point is, No matter what the CD/VCD/DVD manufacturers come up with, no matter how cheap the quality of the DVDs be, our Bollywood film makers will still NOT work towards a system where a common Indian citizen can watch a DVD with international standards quality.

    Hello…any Bollywood professionals reading this !!! Ooops… sorry I did not know you were busy copying another english movie 🙂
