Where to find Govinda films on DVD or VCD or in digital format. Posters, soundtracks, magazines and lobby cards from around the world.
|
Up from the ashes as the Phoenix, DVD Dhamaka, http://www.dvddhamaka.com/index.php , has a new site. Quick-loading with nicely sized and clear images, the site has many search parameters, but most do not work yet. Registered users will be able to rate and submit reviews - not available yet - and the film details are basic with a synopsis.
There are approximately 40 Govinda films available in the catalog - the standard offerings. In their previous incarnation, DVD Dhamaka offered over 60 Govinda films with VCDs, CDs and even VHS tapes. Their new site only offers DVDs and CDs and the site's format is aimed towards Western buyers. Based out of New Jersey, USA, the shipping fees and time are standard while the video prices range from .99 to over $100.
We at Govinda Ahuja Info purchased two separate orders from this company in very early 2008. Both orders were received in good condition and in the expected shipping time frame. There are forums with complaints against this company which could indicate a change in management or degradation in integrity.

Well look who reformatted their website.
MoserBaer with a new beta site, http://www.moserbaerhomevideo.com/title-search.php?language=5&category[]=ALL&searchin=STA&keyword=govinda&x=0&y=0&sbox=OK or here http://www.moserbaerhomevideo.com/index.php .
Still focused on VCDs with a smattering of DVD offerings. Larger images, not always correct, with the basic details for each film and additional search parameters. Load-time is slower due to the page styling. Plot summaries are on an additional page which is inefficient. Mention is made of certain DVDs offering subtitles, but the subtitle the language is expressed within is not.
Customers may now review and rate titles and your browsing history is tracked - a convenience for those who deliberate their purchases, a nuisance to those who prefer privacy.
Customers may also report errors - of which there are several amongst the 49 titles currently offered for Govinda.

BS Bazaar, http://www.bsbazaar.com/movies/indian/1.htm , out of Bangalore, India offers VCDs, DVDs, CDs and clothing. A scant 15 Govinda films in the catalog, but prices are affordable. Various payment options, modest search parameters, but not enough details provided for products. |
|
Online Indian Mart, http://www.onlineindianmart.com/search.php#dosearch , is a newcomer to the VCD/DVD market. Offering a scant 24 Govinda films, they do list Naya Khoon, http://www.onlineindianmart.com/detail.php/336286 , a difficult-to-find film outside of India territory.
The site is navigable and clean, but not enough film details or images to complement selections. Decorative items, books and jewelry are also offered.
Prices are fair and the company offers a variety of payment options. We at GAI have not ordered from Online Indian Mart and cannot vouch for their delivery, service or the ordering experience.

Magnamags, http://stardust.co.in/index.php , is the publisher of Stardust and Showtime, two publications which track Bollywood news. The website's goal is to garner subscriptions and the overseas price is hefty due to shipping costs. The site offers past articles, a blog, a forum and movie reviews, but the site has a generally sloppy look with defunct images and annoying flashplayer content. The navigation could be streamlined onto the home page as many pages have little content. The site is not updated daily. |
Hummaa, http://www.hummaa.com/music/album/29969/Coolie+No+1 , is a music site. Playable songs can be added to a favorites playlist or downloaded for .99 USD. Only a dozen Govinda albums are currently available, but the sound files are good quality. Fast-loading site with unobtrusive advertisements. Not enough search parameters and only basic album details are listed. Users can add comments to the albums, rate the songs and IM community friends.  Coolie No 1

The German, France, China and Japan versions of Amazon.com have negligible Govinda items for sale. The products on the German site are UK imports.
|
Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/ , an international marketplace for everything, including reseller items. The Govinda catalog has pricey DVDs, some with English subs, some without. Purchasing from Amazon, you can select free shipping - takes approximately a week to ship. UPCs for movies not available in the Amazon database cannot be sold. What this means is, if you purchase movies directly from India or Pakistan and attempt to resell them on the US Amazon, the barcode may not be registered with Amazon and may be prohibited from selling the item. This is also true for DVDs which have more than one film on a single disc. No VCDs allowed on the US site at this time. Purchasing from resellers offers inexpensive products, but the shipping may negate the savings. Resellers are marked by quantity of products sold and are rated by their customers. Purchase from a reseller who will give you a tracking number. Currently available:
