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.
