Hi,

I just picked up a copy of Deewar from a local shop. They sold it to me for 7 dollars CAN. On the cover, it says "Special MRP Rs. 49". Are these legitimate DVDs? They are not in a proper DVD case. Its more like a cardboard digipack. Ase these dvd's prone to disc rot? Also, how much is Rs. 49 worth in Canadian or US dollars? The back of the dvd says "for sale in India only".

Thanks again for your help, folks.

yes - that's a genuine dvd from eros -- but Rs.49 is a little more than ONE U.S. Dollar -- you've been ripped!

Hi!

Aren't all the shemaroo's cropped, though?

A dollar?!? Is there any good source on-line for Eros dvds from India? It looks like they're pressed by Jet Speed. Are they prone to disc rot?

Thanks again for the help folks!

discs replicated at jet speed are known to skip and/or freeze on some DVD players -- could be because of compatability issues.

btw, the same title is sometimes replicated at different facilities. for example, some main hoon naa discs were done at jet speed, others at sony DADC.

Hi ND,

So aside from packaging, are these discount dvd's like Deewar the same as the dvd's in the regular keep cases? The picture quality would be on par, I assume? Any tips on where to get these "for sale in India" dvds? :)

Many Thanks!!!

Bought Deewar a while ago with this label of 49 rupee but it was in a proper keep case.

Hi Urbanlegend,

My Deewar came in a weird digipack, unlike any other digipack I've seen, with a thing in the corner that says "special MRP Rs. 49". If I can ask, did you get your dvd in India?

Thanks again!

OMG! Collecting Indian movies is so complicated! I ususally buy my films in a regular DVD box & the store I go to charges me 10-12 bucks per film. When I found this shop that offered to sell me movies for 7.00 I was thrilled. I didn't know that the packaging, pressing, quality could vary so greatly.
