Living in India, I hardly ever rent pirated Hindi movies as I feel I could pay slightly more and go watch it in a movie theatre. But what option do I have incase I want to watch a Hollywood flick. In places like Bombay & Delhi, many English and international movies do make it to the theatres, but what about places which are not as big. The only way to watch such a movie then is to rent the pirated VCDs that are available pretty easily, and cost only Rs.25-30 a night.
Excellent point made by 'kiran' above, how would you report piracy to pirates ? And does MPAA care about hindi movies, that is what Mr. Oberoi is crying about, isn't it ? MPAA's concerns are for Hollywood movies, and they care s*** about the copy cats. Hmm, it doesn't make sense ! So it means hindi film's bigwigs are such idiots after all, thank god, they haven't changed !
intresting isnt it , when the hindi movie producers flick the script s of english movies or from one of successful regional movies, its not piracy but creativity, when old hindi songs are remixed and repackaged with raunchy vedios , again its creativity not piracy.
i think the film makers should concentrate on making better films. if the movie is really good, people will go to the theatres to watch it. when the piracy is reported from some small towns the producers and distributors don't care much. they don't think it is worthwhile to go there to fight against the piracy. so, what is the point? i know this because it has happened in my town.
When was the last time a really good Bollywood movie was released? Ok I agree some movies are worth it, but most of them are melodramatic (Yash "Ca$h-in" Chopra), jingoistic (Sunny Deols over the top "screw-Pakistan" movies) or braindead crap (the rest of the stuff)
And as long as I can get to watch them for cheap, I don't care... I ain't here to fill the coffers of them Bollywood bozos
Indian movies, especially Hindi movies have lost their moral values as these days movies are remake from English or any other local language. These movies carry so much profanity in language, the question is, is it really worth making such movies and secondly is it worth spending time on stopping piracy of these kind of movies. Bollywood should be shut down totally.
