All familiar payment side store. Sale of pirate DVD’s and CD’s is done in broad street light..
The price of DVD’s goes around Rs 40 – Rs 50. After I bought a DVD, one of my first purchase was from a street vendor. I bought Indiana Johnes collection, Batman collection.. 4 movie in 1 DVD.
But my initial enthusiasm dried out as soon I saw the movies.. The image quality of these CD is very low and it robbed me the dough I spend and my initial euphoria…
After this incident I’ve moved from these street side pirates to the big time pirates in Trivandrum. Beemapalli in Trivandrum a erstwhile landmark for sale of foreign goods has now embraced movie piracy in a big way.
Now most of the shops has moved to piracy CD selling and from the row of shops, one shop has a good collection of classic movies. I’ve purchased lots from this place.. U get all time classics to Italian, Iranian, Japanese movies in here.. I’ve amassed Satyajith Ray’s collection and all these just for 30bucks including a plastic cover.
Of course some CD’s are incomplete… One DVD, My Fair Lady doesn’t have the last scenes and it’s disappointing.. It’s a fair chance to take, and the print quality is good. As long as I can’t afford the branded one, I’ve to stick to the offering from the pirated CD’s of Beemapali.
Next time I visit my hometown, I need to replinish my CD stock with all new stuffs… , Of course some hot stuffs in my shopping cart…
