MUMBAI: Reliance Home Video & Games has released the Home Video and Blu-Ray discs of Clint Eastwood?s Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer J. Edgar.

The film is the story of J. Edgar Hoover, who as the face of law enforcement in America was feared and admired, reviled and revered for almost 50 years. As seen through the eyes of Hoover himself, J. Edgar explores the personal and public life and relationships of a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it during a life devoted to his own idea of justice, often swayed by the darker side of power.

During his lifetime, J. Edgar Hoover would rise to be the most powerful man in America. As head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years, he would stop at nothing to protect his country. Through eight presidents and three wars, Hoover waged battle against threats both real and perceived, often bending the rules to keep his countrymen safe. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted, if ever elusive, prize.

Besides, the film also stars Naomi Wattsas Helen Gandy, Hoover?s longtime secretary; Armie Hammer as Hoover?s prot?g? Clyde Tolson; Josh Lucas as the legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, whose son?s kidnapping changes the public profile of the FBI and Judi Dench as Hoover?s over-protective mother Annie Hoover.

J. Edgar is available on Blu-ray for Rs.1299, DVD for Rs.599 and VCD for Rs.299.

As per the contest, teams of 3 young professionals, under the age of 30 years, were asked to create a short film (between 30 and 60 seconds), using their mobile handsets. Each team was assigned a mentor film maker who guided the team members on the nuances of film making.

We?re extremely happy with the kind of response we?ve received and thankful for all the support. Next year, we hope to make this initiative larger and stronger by reaching out to many more media, advertising professionals.?
