Watch 'Sholay' on Your Mobile Phone

06 Nov, 2007, 10:22 pm IST | IANS | Mobile phones

Cinema buffs can now watch the classic movie Sholay on the go, thanks to the telecom revolution, as the blockbuster will now be available preloaded on some mobile phones.

Nokia today unveiled two new mobile handsets – N81 and N95 8GB – that have the cult movie preloaded. The Nseries is a multimedia sub-brand of Nokia.

"It is one of the biggest blockbusters that the Hindi film industry has churned out. There could have been no better option than this flick, which is liked by every age group equally," said Vineet Taneja, business director of multimedia, Nokia India.

"The facility will be available in every N81 and N95 8GB handset across the country. However, there will be no option of sub-titles," he added.

Bollywood actress Isha Sherwani launched the handsets after a high voltage dance performance.

Other than high storage capacity, the N81 also comes preloaded with English music videos, best-selling Bollywood and Hollywood songs and all-time hit comedy scenes from Hindi movies across genres.

The N95 offers a display of 2.8 inches and improved battery power. Its 8 GB flash memory is meant for enjoying videos, playing games, or locating favorite destinations with full navigation with assisted global positioning system (A-GPS).

The launch was followed by a panel discussion on the future of the burgeoning mobile entertainment market, which currently accounts for 37 percent of the $28,000 million non-SMS data revenue.
