Real reason Blu-ray.com doesn't have more official reviews of Indian discs

[Happy_Evil_Dude]

At the time of writing, only 8 Indian movies on blu-ray have been reviewed by a staff member of Blu-ray.com. These include Sivaji, Billa, Villu, New York and King reviewed by Dr. Svet Atanasov, Partner (Eros Version) and Lage Raho Munnabhai reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman and Saawariya reviewed by Martin Liebman. Again at the time of writing, 50+ blu-rays of Indian movies are available, making the number of official reviews on the site less than 20% of what is currently on the market. The member "Bollywood Blu-Ray", who has a commercial partnership with Blu-ray.com, has on several occasions stated on this forum that this disc or that disc has been sent to the reviewers of Blu-ray.com and that an "official" review should be coming soon. This, I have recently discoved, is a lie. Indeed earlier today I contacted Dr. Atanasov, who is the main reviewer for for Criterion and non-US discs on Blu-ray.com, to ask him to review Indian discs on a more regular basis, seeing as how since the last time he reviewed an Indian blu-ray (King), he's reviewed hundreds of blu-rays from Criterion, the UK, France, Hong Kong, Korea, Taïwan, Germany, etc... His reply was simple and to the point: "after the initial batch of discs the site received, the Indian content owners have not provided any product for review".
