I know Samrat, MDE and UDI are probably not the best brands, but certain titles have only been released by them!

Does anyone know of a retailer, other than IW, that stock these brands at competitve prices? Do any of them have their own websites?

Any info appreciated.

http://www.dvddhamaka.com also carries all brands of dvds. but IW doesn't price-match to them.

Shuman, it seems you have caught on to my game! I was trying to find an alternative site and get IW to price match on these brands.

Its one thing that we have to pay around $16 for YashRaj's titles, but most titles of these inferior brands are usually cheap. But IW is capitalising on their rare availability, and have increased prices on some of these titles to $16.

Anyone let me know if they see the following titles for $10 or less.

Hum Dono (1984)
Jay Vijay (1977)
Raaj Tilak (1984)
Samraat (1982)

first of all, why would you be buying these dvds. the print is truly pathetic.

i see "samraat" is available on dvddhamaka for $6.99 but why would you buy it.

"hum dono" is available on indiandvdwala.com for $9.99, it may not have be UDI print but a pirate. But believe me the pirate would be same if not better than UDI print.

"jay vijay" is available on indianmoviemart.com, but the price is not posted, you can email them and find out. i bet it's less than $10.

"raaj tilak" is available on bollywoodarts.com for $11.99

yaar, dont waste your money on these. have you finished watching what is available in good print?

:bangbang:

Shuman, thanks for checking out these titles for me. I am not expecting much from the prints, but want see these movies again for their nostagia value. Even if they are video quality, at least I wont have to search for the songs...

Thanks Monizam, I managed to get IW to reduce their prices on these titles as per Shuman's links above. I'm waiting for the order now, and will not complain of the prints provided the discs function ...
:D

so armaan, you should've got the titles for with 10%discount.

Hum Dono (1984) $8.99
Jay Vejay (1977) $9.00
Raaj Tilak (1984) $10.79
Samraat (1982) $6.29

i can't believe you are paying so much for these movies. now seeing you buy these, makes it a must watch once for me. ;)

... I even sneaked in that forbidden DvdDhamka price match!

The movies are nothing special, just some nice song and dance routines of my favourite stars, representing memories of my childhood.

Samraat and Raaj Tilak are masala-type multistarrers. Rajesh Khanna is in a double role in the comedy, Hum Dono. Jay Vijay is most probably a classic.
