The cinema, ever since its introduction, has always been one of the most favorite and cheapest forms of entertainment. Even more consuming for the young patrons have been those forbidden films which the censors have rated 'A' thus putting them beyond their reach. In this way vulnerable and innocent young minds have been protected from the more harmful effects of the celluloid screen.
The advent of the video any way has brought within easy reach what was long carefully unfit for normal viewing. Evidence of the popularity of the small screen is abundant. Video halls abound and are ordinarily very well attended. Video cassette libraries can be encountered within easy reach of each other on any street. This shows how favorite they are. There were as many as two million video cassette recorders in Europe alone in 1982. What has made the video so popular?
For that section of community which enjoyed watching films but adored to stay away from the chaotic premises of cinema halls the video has been the long sought write back to their problem. Without having to submit themselves to the painful task of waiting in endless queues for tickets or having to indulge in degrading arguments with profiteering black marketers selection films can now be viewed in the privacy and relax of one's own home. In fact this is the many benefit of video. It can be used everywhere and at any time. Videos are found in the store de facto in the form of Dvds, Blue ray disc etc. With many consuming features in them.
