The goonies I havent come

The goonies

I havent come across Dev Benegals English, August or Bhowani Junction, featuring Ava Gardner and Stewart Granger. There are many movie addicts looking for never-released-on-DVD titles. And there are some titles that may have been released many the goonies ago. For example, Debajyoti Guha writes on Dev Benegals blog, I had been waiting ages to get a copy of English, August. I distinctly remember seeing the movie seven days in a row when it got released; I was in college. I had the goonies the book in school and appreciated your adaptation when I saw the movie. Since then I have been waiting patiently for a copy to own and revisit the movie. Now, my son is growing up and I am desperately collecting stuff from my growing up years films, books which I had read/owned, music, toys/artifacts, posters to give him a feel of a bygone era. There is a generation or two/three now the timeline of generation is so fast changing who are growing up and will not know and the goonies be able to study how big an impact your movie made. What actually happened to the classic 1994 independent movie that made Rahul Bose and Benegal household names? The director says, Is there a simple answer to this question? I wish there was. The negative has been damaged because of ridiculously poor storage at Prasad Labs Madras. The restoration costs have skyrocketed and no one wants to pay for this. So the DVD got delayed beyond what I had imagined. As a child I watched Aamir Khans Raakh on Doordarshan. Aditya Bhattacharyas movie saw an angry Amir Hussein Aamir looking to avenge the people who raped his beloved Neeta. From an easy-going 21-year-old to a man on a mission, Raakh was an instant hit. In 2009 there was talk of releasing the movie on DVD but nobody knows its fate. Gulzar suffered at the hands of censor board officials for his 1988 effort Libaas, featuring Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Raj Babbar. The movie won plaudits in international film festivals but we are still waiting for the movie. Shah essays the role of theatre director Sudhir who cares more about work than his wife Seema. Meanwhile, the charming TK Babbar comforts Seema. The concept of never seen on DVD is not restricted to India. We have all seen the recent versions of Godzilla and King Kong but what about the 1984 movie Godzilla 1985 which released as The Return of Godzilla in Japan? The plot unfolds after the first film and Godzilla appears darker than the way we know him now. Sadly, the movie is available on DVD only in a few countries and that doesnt include the US. Also missing is the 1953 Inferno directed by Roy Ward Baker which released in 3D. Later adapted for television, the movie was about the alcoholic millionaire Carson Robert Ryan. During a trip to the Mojave Desert he breaks his leg after falling off his horse and is abandoned and left to die by Geraldine Rhonda Fleming, his adulterous femme fatale wife. Even a Marilyn Monroe film has suffered.
