History & Background: Over 4 glorious decades of Customer Satisfaction
and Trust.
In 1962 Shemaroo pioneered Bombay's first circulating Book Library.
‘Shemaroo Book Library’ and its extension for children ‘Shemaroo Kidz’
became popular, and around 1978-79 we set up India's first Video Library
in Bombay. Further in 1986-87, we diversified into the acquisition of
Video rights.
From VHS then, to VCDs and DVDs today, entertainment media has kept
refining and redefining itself to suit modern market demands. And so has
Shemaroo.
Armed with a veritable archive of Hindi films, Shemaroo penetrated into
the Cable and Satellite TV scene, offering films for exhibition on
various networks.
With a treasure trove of popular Hindi movies, film based videos,
distribution network across the country and a lot more today - Shemaroo
has thus carved a niche for itself, not only in the home video segment
but also in entertainment at large.
