Chandni Chowk to China - Blu-ray Forum

I have read rumerous that CC2C would be released soon. Any news? It is already listed in amazon.com but without a release date.

The release rate of Indian movies is painfully slow. It is really frustrating ...

I expect Indian studios will experience a slowdown of DVD sales. I can think of two key reasons.

1. Low quality pirated DVDs sold for couple of dollars.
2. When people upgrade to HD they would see the problems with pirated DVDs and stop purchasing DVDs until blu-rays are available to play on their newly acquired blu-ray players.

I am glad to see that Ayngaran is preparing for this changeover. It could be too late when Bollywood realises the problem as it takes some time to release a large catalogue on blu-ray. The behaviour of Yash Raj is unbelievable - they seem to be lacking any strategy for the future growth.

Initially there was to a DVD and BR but because it was a huge disaster for WB they only released the DVD and that too with no major extras.

Does this mean that we will not see the BD in the near future? I haven't watched this and waiting for the blu-ray... Disappointing.

the entire indian film industry is suffering at this point so it will affect the release of blus as well which, for them, are not a priority to begin with
