Hi,
We have been promoting the 1800imall.com through our site http://www.MoviesIndia.com and would like to get your assurance that,
all DVD's sold are Genuine and not pirated.
Recently I had posted about our site in zulm.net and someone raised the question about the authenticity of this particular item.
http://www.1800imall.com/iteminfo.asp?item_Id=11770

Also please look into the following thread http://www.zulm.net/cgi-bin....48;st=0

Ravi Venkatraman,

----End of their response------

Since I am not convinced one way or the other about this issue. I am disabling the link to 1800imall.com "Buy DVD", "RENT DVD", "Music CD" from our site http://www.moviesIndia.com .
I will reinstate the link once I get the assurance that all the DVD's sold are Original.

Once again thanks for your time and valuable feedback

Regards,
Ravi Venkatraman

Since they have assured me that all DVD's sold are Genuine, I am planning to reinstate the links.

Should any member get a pirated DVD from 1800imall.com (not necessarily through moviesindia.com link), please let me know and I will promptly remove the link from moviesindia.com.

Once again thank you for the feedback.

Dear Ravi,
Most of the titles sold at http://www.1800imall.com (I know only about the telugu titles) are pirated. I know this because I had bought a bunch of them from them but sadly speaking almost all of them barring a few were very poor pirated copies probably home made. The video sucked a big time.
Hope it helps.

Thanks bjv.
I have removed the link for DVD & CD.

SK, sorry it took so long to even get back to this forum. SDFC makes original DVDs but I will stick only with their Black and White movies for now as I hated Gorintaku quality.

I bought the Golden Pack of the old DVD collection you are talking about. It's nothing like EVP quality but made me very happy as they are all excellent movies and looked great on my 60" Mits TV. Gundamma Katha has slight audio drop outs when digital output is used. It improves if you use analog outputs to connect to the receiver and increase volume. MayaBazaar is supposed to be released later this month.

Also, EVP sudhakar is working hard to release lot of new titles. Check their one page site at http://www.evpdvd.com.

Here is the link to a few screen captures http://www.pbase.com/telugudvdreviews . Please note the original aspect ratio looks normal even though the picture came out slightly messed up. Check out http://www.moviexpress.com who claim to be selling only original DVDs. It is owned by idlebrain.com.

KP you sure abt it ? I was thinking of ordering Chudalani Vundi (Chirinjeevi) also from sdfcinc. Now I have asked my friends in da USA To purchase those DVDs for me and they are all GA-GA over those DVDs...Now i begin to wonder if I will evere get back those DVDs

Moviexpress seems like a shady site and has to be avoided ...

Sudhakar is very unprofessional and he doesnt have a catalogue of his films listed on his site... So why bother with a link to indofilms.com ?
