Andhravilas is a sham

For a lot of NRI's living outside the country, its a boon to have websites that offer music, videos and bunch of other stuff that bring back memories of their homeland. Andhravilas-dot-com started as one such site. Catering to the needs of Andhrites, they started playing movies for 'Donated Members'. Basically, they tell you that they are offering a Paypal donation link 'based on popular demand'. They accept donations of $4 (175 rupees approx) and above. Once you donate, your account is automatically upgraded and you can view the movies as long as you have Real Player installed on your computer.

The problem starts if you begin seeing error messages. Don't expect a reply from them even if you send a hundred emails to customer support. Since the payment through Paypal was not a payment but a donation link, I'm not sure if they will return the money. Anyway, the summary of this experience is that Andhravilas is a sham. Don't lose your money to them. Also, I doubt if they have permission from the movie producers to broadcast the movies on their site.
