Indian movie distributor Eros International and British music company EMI Group have agreed to distribute each other's music catalogs.

Eros is a dominant player in the Indian entertainment market, and EMI has top Western artists such as Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and Pink recording under its labels.

Under the deal, Eros will market EMI's catalog of 1.3 million songs in India, while EMI will market Eros' catalog of Bollywood and South Asian music worldwide, except in India.

The companies first worked together last year to obtain a license for 'Beedi' - a song from the Bollywood film Omkara (2006) - as the theme song for the hit Brazilian television show, Caminho das Indias.
