When I contacted this company http://www.reliancebigpictures.com/contactus.html via email to request non-theatrical public performance rights for 3 Idiots, they asked for $750 to provide a 35mm film print to us. When I replied that this was a non-commercial screening at a public library and we could screen from our own DVD, they did not respond.
I also contacted Yash Raj Films at http://www.yashrajfilms.com/ContactUs/YRFContactUs.aspx?Param=E47A0B40-B7D0-4DD7-8E46-BF1D420DD05A to request PPR for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which they gave to us for $350. Based on attendance at previous screenings, I expected between 30 and 50 attendees, but only eleven people came to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
