3 Idiots Can Be Downloaded Legally
3 Idiots is releasing on Friday in 1,766 screens
world wide out of which 366 are in 32 countries
Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra has said that his latest film '3 Idiots' will later be available on internet.
"This is the first film ever that can be downloaded and viewed on YouTube. But, we are yet to take a decision as to when it should be allowed for downloading legally after 8-12 weeks or later," Chopra said.
Responding to questions on reports that multiplexes had hiked the ticket prices of '3 Idiots' steeply, Chopra said ticket pricing was the prerogative of the multiplex owners. "But, I will still check on the prices. I want audiences from all sections of the society to watch my film," he said. He said the decision to allow legal downloading was taken to discourage pirated prints.
"If there is a facility to watch movies on mobile phones, the film will be available there but at an appropriate time. We can't harm our theatrical business by releasing it on DTH," he said.
