Ordered from flipkart, cause as I saw in their site only one in stock remains, too risky to order from there, no MIJ in ebay either. Paid more in FK but got peace of mind.Go to their website. Always call the seller for stock. Golden rule.

All Verbatims are not the same.
The one's made in Japan (duh!) and Thailand are superior.
Sony produces in India and I hate to say this but the Thai builds are better.
I remember there is some kinda scan to check quality and stuff. I read through a lot and lot of such posts etc and came to the above conclusion (they actually did, I'm just quoting it )

My impressions for brands sold in India:
1) Verbatim: Variable quality. Made in India stuff is not really better than local MBI discs.
2) Amkette: Last stock I got was rebranded CMC magentics media. Decent stuff.
3) Kodak: DVD+R is OPTODISC (very good media), DVD-R is MBI media with additional (proprietary) protective layer. The result being that the discs don't scratch as easily.
4) Moser Baer: MBI DVD+R is actually pretty good. DVD-R is not so good. Avoid Moser Baer non-Pro discs, they are similar dyes but have less protective layer which means they deteriorate and scratch very easily.
5) MAXELL: Very difficult to find but actually very good media.
6) Imation: Mostly made by MBI, a few by CMC. Average stuff, comparable to MBI.
7) HP: Discs are mostly from MBI but I have found these to have good reliability with iffy writer compatibility. What I mean is that if your writer "likes" this media, you're going to get excellent results. Otherwise, meh.
8) TDK: MBI media, no different.
9) Sony: Sony DVD-R these days is made in India. These are relatively decent media with good scratch protection. Sony DVD+R is IMO better, a lot of those are made in Japan or Taiwan. The Sony DVD+R (Made in Taiwan/Japan) is highly recommended, very good media and IMO next only to Taiyo Yuden and Japanese Verbatims.

How does this look?
Flipkart.com: Sony DVD+R 100 Pack Spindle: Blank Media
Also this says made in Taiwan: Buy Verbatim DVD+R 16x 4.7GB Wide Thermal 50pk Spindle at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews
Is this the good verbatim?

Verbatim was also my choice but needed to confirm. Thanks
Should I go for Dual sided disc?

No, you can't label them, not to mention, chance to scratch it, buy one sided discs.
i think he meant dual layer.as far as i know double side discs are rare & very hard to find.

Yes, it is the good Verbatim. The Sony DVD+R in general is very good, made in Japan discs are about as good or better than Taiyo Yuden. Made in Taiwan is next best and Made in India is comparable to Verbatims.
What isn't very good is Made in Malaysia Sony DVD+R (they scratch easily), but I've not seen many discs from Sony that are made in Malaysia.

Recent reviews on Amazon are bad for both sony and verbatim, bad reviews say the discs are made in india.
Someone mentioned in the previous page about moserbaer dual layer dvd's for ~rs. 17.5.
Where did you find those? O_O I asked around for dual layers here and i found two companies I have never heard of before. Invasion and rainbow,for rs.20 and rs.25 respectively. :S
