Moser Baer also formally inaugurated the online website www.moserbaervideo.com on this occasion, so that they can reach the consumers directly through out the country.

Esha said the low prices would cut into the illegal trade of the pirates; Rahul said that great art purifies the soul and should therefore be accessible to everyone. The low pricing would ensure that, he added. He said this could trigger a social change by bringing about a greater democratization of the arts.
