EVP is lately releasing lot of telugu DVDs but unfortunately only IndoFilms.com is selling most of them while http://www.movieXpress.com is promising that it will soon add more of EVP titles to their widely advertised site. They are taking preorders for 'Santosham' starring Nagarjuna and Gracy Singh which is a major hit this year.

Telugu DVD market it completely taken over my pirated DVDs and sites like ragalahari.com and southindiandvd.com. So, stay away from those sites even if they sell few originals.

I just hope EVP doesn't go the DEI way. I know they are having hard time competing with insane prices($1.99 on some titles) on pirated DVDs and is counting greatly on 'Santosham' and a few more new releases that should come soon.

Anyone know if IW will stock EVPs new titles?

Aah one more request Afzal (rather 2 more)
Can you procure for me the Following DVDs
DTPH (Anamorphic)
http://www.yashrajfilms.com/homeent/ind ... tphana.htm

Angoor (unfortunately the only GVI version that is available will suffice
)
http://www.nehaflix.com/angoordvd.html
(and yeah this site is ur competitior !)

& also let me know when the other EVP dvds are arriving !

What abt the SDFCinc.com telugu DVDs ? You said you would add them to ur
catalogues ( I am not purchasing it from them in the hope that u would be
getting them in ur catalogue ! )
Do let me know

Sknath, have you seen any of those SDFCinc.com titles? If so, how are they compared to EVP (on the high end) and KAD (on the low end)?

Here are the movie titles planned to be released by EVP. No release dates given

Mrugaraju
Alluda Majaka
GharanaMogudu
Kondaveeti Raja
Manchi Donga
Chttamtho Poratam - All Chiranjeevi

KD No.1 - NTR
Eduruleni Manishi - NTR

Bhaledonga
Ama Rajinama

1.) Chinna papa kemo cheera kasta chinna dayano

2.) Bangaru kodi pitta vocchinandi hey papa hey papa hey papa...
SSwargam ante paina kaadu kindane vundi chusuko

Jag yem titles peeru cheppavu ra

BTW Gharanamogudu is the inspiration for the Anil Kapoor, Sridevi hit of the 90's- Laadla !

He He I will also be buying those two DVDs especially for the songs and also Kondaveeti Donga . What with Mrugarjau? They should have let it alone and not wasted their efforts on that

SDFC titles are far off from EVP and very similar to the some of the best KAD made. The Black and White version look good on analog TV but little messed up with sharpness on HDTVs. Since they are legal rights holders of those titles we have no options but to buy those great goldies.

Stay away from Azad, Premante Idera, Seethamaalakshmi(one full chapter can't be played on any DVD Player), Gorintaku. I should be getting Choodalanu Undhi in a day or two and I can tell the quality of it.

Bottomline, stay away from any color titles SDFC made so far.

EVP should have released all those Chiranjeevi titles a while back. I also heard he has rights to lot of Vijayabapinedu movies.

Mrugaraju pirate is in almost all stores and moreover it's one of the worst movies of last year. No point in bringing quality DVD of it.

Now this looks a totally different site I must say
