As per sify article...
"These coupons are a novel marketing strategy by which Star Audio-the company that brought the audio rights of the film hopes to counter music piracy. "
Can anyone explain how this helps to prevent piracy ?? Maybe I am missing something here.

the basic concept of this confusion(??) is this..
there's advance bookin for the cassette at the theatres where Baba'll be released.
u pay Rs. 50 and get a coupon.
on 24th Jul.. u get the coupon redeemed for a cassette and an option of buying a ticket that can be used w/in the 1st 8 days.(ne day.. and u pay for the ticket)
Coupon holders will have preference over the rest..
The ticket and cassette can be bought w/o this offer also.
Marketing strategy, nothin else. each theatre is given 10,000 units!! (i fear that i mite have quoted a smaller value than original no. of cassettes per theatre!!!)

buying in theatres will assure genuine cassettes..but piracy'll still not be fully eliminated as there are always the audio shops!

I dunno man this is the wierdest thing i eversaw in the world. You have to buy casettes to watch a freaking movie.Oh wait there is more weirdo than this. That is the Kiss-Ass_of_Rajini ppl like WN!Oh wait sir what do u know about marketing?This is a marketing move you say? and you compare this stupid scumbag masala movie with JurasicPark(1)?Did they say You have to buy the soundtrack of JP to come watch JP? Lemme say this. Rajini did never poor he has any talents except relying on fools like you watch him throw suruttu and catch or fight by flying like god. No wonder these ppl never achive anything than making money out of such idiotic fans.
Do you know anything about me?? TO say that they make more money than me and i think they r greedy? Do you know you fool talking about ppl making money in Rupees and my life style only deals US dollars??
WN, Dont ever make assumbtions about people you dunno or suck up some stupid Indian actor like Rajini over a limit..(hahaha his marketing strategy ..as u mentiond make me laugh out of my brain!)

"I dunno man this is the wierdest thing i eversaw in the world. You have to buy casettes to watch a freaking movie."
Kum Laden, where on earth did u get the idea u have to buy the cass to watch the movie? Either u have some serious comprehension problems or u have read some other article. If it's the first, I cant help u and if it's the latter, can u pls share tat article and it's source wit us?
"and you compare this stupid scumbag masala movie with JurasicPark(1)?"
Fantastic! Tat u have already judged the movie before even it's been released speaks volumes about u. Thxs for blatantly exposing ur true colours to us.
"Do you know anything about me??"
Unfortunately we're getting to know more and more abt u from the nature of ur posts.
"No wonder these ppl never achive anything than making money out of such idiotic fans."
All I can say to tis is
"Dont ever make assumbtions about people you dunno"
"hahaha his marketing strategy ..as u mentiond make me laugh out of my brain!)"
Sorry, u've lost me here. When did I mention the phrase "marketing strategy"?? Is tis one of the signs of ur zero comprehension skills. You were laughing ur brains off at a non-existent phrase. U mus have laughed it completely off (ur brains) cos ur making very little sense now.
A note to all genuine and regular participants of this thread: Please see through the ulterior motives of some recent self-professed ARR fans here. Obviously some parties in tis DF are not very happy to witness the long-standing harmony between the RK and ARR Fans. They have been going to great lengths to upset tis peace. Now tat their plans r being thwarted, they r going beserk and have descended to wat they r best at doing ie. personal attacks & crappy posts.
If anyone thinks I'm going haywire wit my conspiracy theories, here's some evidence for u:

I shouldnt bring politics down here but music is being manipulated by it. Rajini is a selfish person who makes his fans(pls guys get a life) to wait and suffer and die while he will cash everything and become more rich. I dunno why these ppl respect him like he was MGR. This guy says the ppl who buy coupan only could go theatre(if this is not true then blame the tamil news sources, but still these ppl try to cash every buck possible from the poor fan). Real artists like Rahman should avoid 'being sold' by these morons.
Baba the stupid scumbag movie i will not even watch but dieing to listen the songs for mere ARRahman
Laden"

Kum_Laden, whatever be your opinion about ARR or RK, you need have used such a bad language against WN. Highly disgusting! Hope you can understand why I make this statement.

Disclaimer notice : ARRAhman(via Kum_Laden) is some efforts for a same-side goal. Thats not related to me and completly insane.
WN: I didnt even bother finish reading watever u wrote cozjust boring and longggggg.. if you insist someone would read it then write something senseful and not loooooonggg
C~P: I respect any actor who shows some devotion so their fans wouldnt look like idiots watching their work. KamalHaasan, Vikram.
I dont see any of RKs films except Thalapathi(ofcourse ManiRatnam would shape anyone).Mostly he would be a poor who become rich at the end of movie. A flashback where he has to lose all his stuff. How he beat his villians. Yawn MASALAAAA.Cant belive some ppl waiting to see 'how this movie too will be'.pathetic...

WN: I was misled by a yahoo news item Here's the link. It never mentioned the 8 days limit. IF that is true, then its ok, otherwise the tactic is unacceptable. But common sense tells me that Rajini cannot force people to buy cassettes.

Kum_Laden
Cool down man. There is no need to attack any one person in this thread, everyone has a right to express whatever they want as much as you or I do.
I was glad that this was the only thread without any personal attacks among DFers. Dont prove that wrong. Let me leave this topic at this.
Thanks.
Raja
