The release date of Om Shanti Om and Foxcatcher will be delayed
Unexpected Delay
The release date of Om Shanti Om and Foxcatcher will be delayed by approximately two days. Our sincere apologies. The delay is caused by the discs not arriving in Korea on schedule.
The dispatching date will be pushed from March 30th to April 1st. We'll be working diligently until we can deliver the final products in the best condition possible.
Thank you.

Pre-orders : Om Shanti Om and Foxcatcher(Scanavo Keepcase)
We'll be taking pre-orders of Om Shanti Om and Foxcatcher(Scanavo Keepcase) this month.
Details are coming soon.
Update: Om Shanti Om
Over the past couple of months, we faced some real challenges with Om Shanti Om from the design to the selection of writers for the booklet.
When we first announced the release, we thought it would be best to make the pre-order available as soon as possible. But that’s now changed.
At Plain Archive, not a single upcoming release gets left behind. We work on multiple projects simultaneously. Delays are mostly caused by not reaching the standard of quality which we set ourselves.
We’re almost done with Om Shanti Om. It should follow soon after the release of Two Days, One Night and Frank.
Out sincere thanks for the long wait. Information on the pre-order are coming soon.
Thank you
Best regards

Our thoughts on 'Om Shanti Om'
'OM SHANTI OM' is a Bollywood movie as some of you may already know — a slight departure from our traditional “arthouse” releases.
The story-line is pretty straightforward as you’d expect from a Masala film. But the grand design / scale of the production with dance numbers will leave you enthralled. The story is set around the Bollywood industry itself, which is why we believe that it’s the perfect introduction to the genre if you’ve never seen a Bollywood film before.
An Indian film may not be your thing, but please keep an open mind to world cinema like Bollywood. Plain Archive does not solely focus on critically acclaimed arthouse films. Releasing a series of culturally-diverse films is more important to us. Even though we understand the lack in popularity, we won’t be pouring less effort into this release. In fact, we’ll be taking extra steps to ensure that we come up with the best possible edition. OM SHANTI OM was a big success in India, but also in Korea as well. Actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are both huge stars of Bollywood.
If you are a Plain Archive fan from overseas, we expect most of you to not have seen the movie. But perhaps releasing an Indian film is something that we ought to ambitiously try at least once, given the opportunity. There’s no need to purchase all of our releases “to collect ‘em all”. On the contrary, we believe that it’s better if you buy the releases you want to watch. But halting your Plain Archive collection altogether because of OM SHANTI OM hurts our feelings. Plain Archive will always strive for producing quality Blu-ray editions of well-made films, that are worth watching. The packaging is merely an icing on the cake.
