How many people can afford to watch a movie spending Rs 750 to Rs 1000. How many households in India have a Hi-Def TV right now ? Definitely not many !

Of course, you do realize that we (NRI) are not the primary targets for the studios. They can afford to produce more titles only when the home market for them grows up. So for the time being, early adopters need to be just patient and enjoy what is being offered on plate

No offense to anyone. This is just my 2 cents looking at the bashing that has been going on in these forums against Indian Studios.

Nice try scorpion83. FYI - Sony made a ton of money selling a mediocre movie like Saawariya on blu ray. If you want to have an international presence with a broader audience, I definitely think blu ray is the way to go, just my opinion. It will definitely be breakeven during the beginning. You gotto start somewhere, not wait around till HDTV's penetrate into the Indian market.
