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.
