An eBay issue

 My Thriving page

A Sales Issue
I am running into a sales issue on my page on eBay
The issue is now the page is thriving, I have a problem putting items on which will sell; I have plenty of DVDs I could out on, but most are from India, and mainly Bollywood pre-1990.
I realise my movie selection is not to everone's taste.
If you are curious, I have a copy of the film above I could sell as I can download the film from a YouTube channel I watch.

I chose to watch few Bollywood movies from the era from 1980 -2000 for several rerasons.

During this period the trend was for teen romance movies, with lots of music, and little storyline. Most of the ladies were no more than the romatic partner for the the leading man which at the time was one of The Three Khans.
Most of the films were, and still are, controlled by the Kapoor family.
Films at this time rarely didn't feature Anil Kapoor, his brother Shashi Kapoor, or their cousin Shakti Kapoor. Shashi I like watching, Anil I can take in small doses, and Shakti I can't abide.

As the family made the rules the sexism in Bollyood was strengthened over time. When their father, Raj Kapoor, set up RK Films, though the men were the leading force the ladies were respected for their ability.

It is only in the last decade the trend is being reversed, with the rise of actresses such as Rani Mukerji, Vidya Balan, Tabu, Raveena Tandon, and Shefali Shah. There are still actresses I consider who are there only because they are attractive such as Shilpa ShettyAishwarya Rai, Kajol, and Lara Dutta to name a few. I am not satyng this without reason, I have seen the ladies, and thier acting is moderate at best.
