Bollywood New Releases Available via Video-On-Demand

Posted by michael on from the never-have-to-leave-the-house dept.

af_robot writes "There's an announcement of a secure, DivX video-on-demand service for first-run movies, but only for Bollywood movies. 'Each new Bollywood film is released on the public Internet a day before or on the same day of its theatrical release, through piracy on multiple illegal movie download web sites,' said Al Mason, CEO of Cinema on Web. 'Our partnership with DivXNetworks represents the future of entertainment on the Internet. Soon virtually all new major Bollywood and Hollywood movies, including entertainment will be distributed digitally with secure VOD solutions like the one created by DivXNetworks, simultaneously defeating piracy and generating additional revenue for film studios and producers.'"

  1. What's the name of that movie? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny


    Excellent! I've been looking for a certain Bollywood movie. In it an East Indian guy saves a girl from a corrupt landholder and at the end they all dance. What was it called again?

      Whereas American films consist of:

      85% explosions and car chases
      10% sex
      5% product placement

      That is truly pathetic. I for one refuse to rest until they're at least 25% sex. Who's with me? :)

    The boats have all been sunk and Davey Jones locker has been secured for Bollywood!

    Ever since running out of royalty money, Davey Jones has had to share a locker with Peter Tork and Mickey Dolenz. Sorry for the inconvenience.
