END OF AN ERA. This says it all. The last video shop in Edinburgh will officially close it's doors at the end of this month to rental and sales. It has been a privilege to have served the Asian community of Edinburgh for over 30 years, but now it is time to move on in a different direction.
I have made a lot of friends over the years even had customers from the Shetland Islands ,Aberdeen, Dundee and from all over the world as far as Australia to purchase movies. Had film students from Napier University making short movies as part of there course work on numerous occasions throughout the years. Even appeared on the big screen before the start of films in the FILMHOUSE , sponsored the local cricket team , organised a stage show which had Amanullah as the star of the show with 2 days notice. A supporter of the Edinburgh Mela when it first began way back in 1994 as a ticket seller. Started DVD rental way back in 1998 became the third biggest Asian video shop in Scotland .Also became the chairman of the Pakistani Traders Association in 1998. But the list is endless but all I can say is I HAD A BLAST. Video Mahal will still continue on in the field of film duplication and film transfer and more recently the shop has branched out into sending cargo for customers to Pakistan on a regular basis which I started way back in 2016 and still do to this day. But with a heavy heart it is now time to say a GOODBYE forever....
