I wonder what they are complaining about!

DVDs officially certified by Indian Censor board and published by Moser Baer - world's largest optical media manufacturer - are available for between US$ 0.80 to 1.00.

The pirated copies that are otherwise available are really junk quality 5 in 1 DVDs, which half the times won't play on any player at all. That includes PCs also.
