Quantum of Solace is opening in India a week before its US release. Lead actor Daniel Craig says, “Bond films have been a huge hit in India and that’s why we wanted to give Indian audiences the thrill of seeing the spy movie before the Americans do”.

Though it is something to be proud of, that the Bond franchise is releasing the latest James Bond movie in India first… I still have doubts on their reason for the release. I believe it is more to do with losing millions of dollars by releasing in the US first and if the pirated copy made it back to India before the official release of the movie.

India is one of the major piracy hub and in order to beat the system, this step could have been laid out. What do you think?
