I bought Jab We Met & Dhamaal DVD from MoserBaer... the quality of both the movies were good. Before I used to buy a lot of vcd & dvd of the movies. I have a collection of my fav movies...Aashique, Ek duje ke liye, Sajjan, & many new movies...I used to go to movies every week. Iam a big movie buff. Right from my school days..But since I knew abt the torrent thing....now I hardly go to cinema hall.D torrent gets released on the same day of the movie release.
If I want to see any old movie,then I may buy the vcd/dvd...

Great review Jay !.... But what about English titles ?

Will i get a list of all the titles they have in their web site ?

Have you bought any dvds of English titles as of yet ?

just4kix · 11-05-08, 11:04 PM

No major English titles. I saw a few offbeat titles - mostly some 'B' grade movies.

Also, I am not sure whether Hollywood studios will part with rights and revenue that easily.

So tough luck, out there (as yet)!

I don not remember the names but there are quiet some few companies which have licensed English movies[main stream] and are selling it for cheap (though not as cheap as Moser baer ! ) in India .

Something to do with Anti-Piracy Initiative

For starters let me say there a movie called "border"
1.I go to a shop

2.I ask for the movie

3.The shop keeper gives me the oirated cd of border

4.It costs me 20*2 = 40 rupees

5.I ask the cost of the original

6. It costs me 50 bucks

7.There is no warrenty on the pirated version

8.I get a warrenty on th original version

9.Its a matter of 10 bucks

Huh what do i buy???
MB wins!!!!!!!!!!!!

what is the difference in the prices, i mean why the different costs, is it because of the movie release date?

Good info J4K, thanks!

What happened to the news that MB were going to go around on a bike to sell their DVD's and VCD's?

Older movies are cheap whereas newer movies are little costly. I have rarely seen a (DVD) movie priced more than Rs. 48/-.

LOL. About MB going on bikes to sell DVDs/VCDs, I am unaware of such news.

just4kix · 01-16-09, 12:39 PM

Some new movies are being charged at Rs. 99/-

Good news. Many other publishers such Eros, Shemaroo, Bombino, etc. have dropped DVD prices to Rs. 99.

this is kind of old news, i think i read it in the paper last year or something, so just wondered whether it is still on or the idea got dropped, but seems like it never went ahead!

powerdoc · 01-21-09, 09:16 PM

Nice review.
One question...does the Moser Baer logo appear anywhere on the screen when you watch the movie ?

just4kix · 01-21-09, 09:38 PM

Not on all movies. They have started putting it now - which is not good.

The watermark reminds me of the old Shemaroo DVDs..very annoying.

just4kix · 01-21-09, 10:18 PM

Please visit page 1 of the thread where images from Munnabhai, MBBS are posted. The watermark can be seen but it is not very annoying.

They have put the watermark to prevent dupliation.

powerdoc · 01-21-09, 10:47 PM

@ just4kix - I can't find any screenshots on page 1.
Anyways, its good that the opacity is low.

Check posts #15 and #17.

CHeers to Moser Baer for bringing so huge collection at such cheap rates.

earlier orginal movies retailed around 300-400

powerdoc · 01-22-09, 03:47 PM

One question - Are these available at some special shops ? All I have seen is some of the dvds at roadside vendors.They could be duplicate also...who knows.

Preeti_20 · 01-22-09, 04:12 PM

You can easily get Moser Baer movies from any movie, music store.
