In South Africa, company extended its theatrical relationship with mainstream distributor Ster Kinekor to cover home-entertainment sectors. It licensed two of its biggest hits "Jodhaa Akbar" and "Taare zameen par" to the company.
In Poland it struck a multi-platform deal with Gutek Film for "Jodhaa Akbar." And in the same territory it inked a four-title home entertainment deal with Elepol Films covering "Taare zameen par," "Rang de basanti," "Swades" and "Life in a ... Metro."
