Hi dipendra sir, Thanks again for the quick response.
Can I get some of the Malayalam audio described movies, if I will send request to sakshum??? Is there any possibilities? Expecting your reply soon. If it is possible, I have some list of movies which I want to get audio description. Expecting your reply on this matter. Stay well, With regards, Timy Sebastian.
