Subject: [AI] Fw: DVD of a Bollywood film with Audio Description in Hindi
available worldwide for the first time.
i am forwarding a mail that I just received which is of interest to all of us.
Kanchan
The Royal National Institute of Blind People's campaign for Audio Description
has resulted in several major distributors of Hollywood films releasing their
DVDs with an AD track in the UK. Now, for the first time, the DVD of a
Bollywood film with an AD track in Hindi will be made available across the
world.
Eros International's VEER, a love story set in the historical context of the
British rule in India has resulted in a modern day British-Indian
collaboration, making Veer the first Bollywood film to have an
audio-description (AD) track in Hindi on its DVD. UK-based Royal National
Institute of Blind People (RNIB) worked with Eros International to achieve this
milestone after its research among blind or partially sighted people of Asian
origin in the UK and India found that over 70 per cent of respondents were more
likely to watch Bollywood films if AD in Hindi was provided.
Veer DVD hits stores worldwide on 24th April 2010.
feel free to contact me for any further information.
