Counterfeit Bollywood CDs?

August 31, 2004 7:57 PM

Bollywood soundtracks on Amazon marketplace seem suspiciously cheap, like US$4-6:

Lagaan
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai[labeled CD single but appears to be the full soundtrack]

However, I can't google up any information indicating that these are bootlegs/counterfeit. Anyone know?

It's genuine, Bollywood DVDs are $9 or less too.

That much?

Places here (Brampton, Ontario, Canada) usually have deals of 3 for $10 (CDN). Sometimes you can get like 25 for $50 (CDN).

shep, yes the original non-pirated versions as released by the studios themselves are $9 for new movies, you can pick up older movies or DVDs with songs etc for $3 per disc or less.

Most CDs range from $20 per disc to $0.50 per disc. It all depends on who released it, whether it's all original material or covers, and finally if it's pirated or not. The ones on Amazon are genuine Sony India releases.
