Moser Baer to buy 15-25% of new Indian releases

Moser Baer is planning to buy rights to almost 15-25% of all the new Indian movies released this year. Going forward, they are looking to buy at least 50% of all new movie releases. They will also consider buying bulk titles from production houses instead of taking the one-off route they are currently taking.

Moreover, with 500 Hollywood titles, Moser Baer has earned a spot at Cannes Festival, where they can directly negotiate and interact with production companies in the US. Pricing for international titles will be Rs. 100 tops.

Moser Baer will release a few of the latest Hindi titles - ‘Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi’, ‘Ek chalis Ki Train’, ‘Apne’ - Rs 34 for a DVD and Rs 28 for VCD, one month within the movie’s mainstream release.

Entire story in BS.

   Well, all this sounds good. Has anyone tried to get their hands on any of the DVDs? I went to a Moser Baer dealer atleast 4 times and each time, he had movies that I had never even heard of. Super flops for Rs.38 is way to expensive in my book! I would not even watch those movies if they given to me for free.
