watch ‘Cinemas of India’.
Until recently
you would often ask how many classic films produced by nfdc were available on DVD format
???? used to wonder why?!!!
Over the
years, nfdc has worked with critically acclaimed filmmakers like Satyajit
Ray, Mira Nair, Shyam Benegal, Richard Attenborough and other luminaries
focusing on international promotion of Indian films with original Indian
stories, In addition to having produced and financed more than 300 films in 18
Indian languages, some of them having won prestigious awards at various
international film festivals. It essentially focused on international promotion
of some of the best Indian films;
Great! but,
sadly much to the annoyance of our classic film loving Indian audience, I would
submit here you only got to see them during film festivals or on some rare occasion
at invited private screenings.
However, there’s some pleasant news waiting for everyone.. esp regional cinema buffs..

In-fact, the amazing
strides made in world cinema, the awareness about “alternate cinema” and the
emerging online shopping stores has helped nfdc to launch Home Videos (dvds) of
their classic movies under the brand ‘Cinemas of India’. In association
with shemaroo and other online e-portals it has now successfully distributed a
few of the most critically and commercially acclaimed films titles in Indian
Cinema.
Truly said by the
nfdc bosses " These critically and commercially acclaimed films are a
must-watch for every generation!”
This time ,
however.... It sounds terrific, much as I love to hear, the Dvd's of the
critically acclaimed film "The Man beyond the bridge (paltadacho
munis)" is finally available in India
