You can get few Regional languages movies from Saksham and on Sugamya Pustakalaya. Just search for Audio describe in Sugamya Pustakalaya to get a list of movies available there as audio track.
More are planned in this year. However, I would urge people from the list to write to production houses to add audio description. If you can meet them, and demo the concept then it will still be better. If there is any upcoming movie or a very well known or loved movie that we want audio described, then a request for same could be sent to Saksham at i...@saksham.org What we are able to do is because we went and met few production houses and show them the demo of Sholay and one demo of special distribution. Audio description can happen outside Saksham too. An example of this is the audio description happening on Hindi content being added to Netflix. Such as in their latest release of Brij Mohan Amar Rahe. Thus, take this matter up where ever you can. Moreover, it does give you a chance to meet few well known personalities. I am sure you would love doing this. If you are taking it up and need any assistance, we will be happy to contribute.

Could you please try to add the AD description for some of the regional languages movies such as, Malayalam, thamil, kannada, thelugu, and so? That will be useful for wide audiences sure. Hope these suggestions will consider in the future versions. Stay well, With regards, Timy.
