Did KB watch Kuruvi on pirated DVD?

The guests at Kuruvi's 150th Day celebrations were in for a shock when ace director K. Balachander suggested that VCD and DVDs must be legalized. According to him, VCD and DVD rights could be sold legally so that it would bring the issue to an end. The director rued that the stringent laws curbing piracy have had no results.

Balachander disclosed that his health conditions did not allow him to see Kuruvi in theatres and he opted for a DVD instead. On a lighter note he added that the print was on par with the original. Balachander, along with the President of the Producers' Council, Rama Narayanan, handed over the mementos to the actors, director and technicians of Kuruvi.
