MUMBAI: Palador Pictures has struck a deal with Indiaplaza.in for promoting world cinema DVDs.

As per the deal, DVDs of foreign language films will have three special collector's box sets. The three box sets and later individual titles would be sold on the site in the 'World Cinema' retail store at www.indiaplaza.in.

IndiaPlaza.in (formerly called Fabmall.com) will be the first online retail store to promote world cinema on their site.

Palador Pictures MD Gautam Shiknis said, "These are some of the best and most awarded (Oscar, Cannes, Berlin, Bafta, etc.) films in the world - for example, classics by past master like Seven Samurai and Throne of Blood (both directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa), new masterpieces like In The Mood For Love and Happy Together (both Cannes winner by living legend Wong Kar Wai), and the critical and commercial hit action trilogy Infernal Affairs that has inspired the Oscar winner Departed.
