This is an easy one because out of the 100 Blu-rays that have been released in India, there are only about 10 percent of those that are actual good movies. Here are the awesome ones (and great blu-rays too):
- Jodhaa Akbar
- Robot
- Magadheera
- Darr
- The Blue Umbrella
- Sivaji: The Boss

I am extremely surprised and disheartened to see the state of Indian Blu Rays. Just a pinch-ful of our classical gems (namely Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila, Anand, Chupke Chupke, Gol Maal & Bawarchi) have been remastered for Blu Ray
Even classics like Mughal-E-Azam, Naya Daur, Garam Hawa, Chashme Buddoor, Hum Dono, NFDC titles and Sholay have been digitally restored and re-mastered. Then why ?can't we have them on Blu Ray.
Okay, if they don't want to go through the tedious process of restoration, can't they bring out what is already done for them?
Having no Devdas Blu Ray is the best example of the stupidity of our Blu Ray industry. (only considering its visual and audible beauty)
We need to create petitions for Blu Ray releases of our classics.
That is enough! But I'm not really sure what to do to get our wishes and demands into force.
Indian classics including 'Alam Ara,' India's first talkie, have already been lost forever.
Indian cinema classic Kalpana Decades of heat and humidity damaged only known copy of 1948 release, and film was close to being lost forever.
it was important that such films were not lost Indian classic films get left by the wayside, Kalpana It got so badly damaged that most of it was destroyed and they are trying to re-create it before it is totally lost so it can be shown to new audiences." Despite recent efforts, India risks losing much of its cinematic heritage as original celluloid deteriorates. When Chopra was researching a book on the seminal 1975 Bollywood mega-hit Sholay, she found only one copy of the original screenplay and no trace of the costumes or the original recordings of the songs. "Until very recently the Hindi film industry has never had any culture of preservation, Films that have been entirely lost include India's first talkie, Alam Ara (The Light of The World), made in 1931. Contemporary film-makers have also suffered. Mrinal Sen, a leading Indian director, was reported to have declined an offer from the Cannes film festival to hold a retrospective because he had no good quality prints of his major works.
"Digitalisation and restoration is required," "With anything more than 50 years old, it's a real problem. They have not been looked after and once the film starts deteriorating and the chemical reactions are under way it is very difficult to stop."

Too many films to list its seriously disgraceful that there are hardly any movies available on blu-ray. The rest of the world is busy restoring their movies and releasing all new releases on blu ray regardless of said movies box office performance and here with Indian blu-ray we count ourseleves lucky if we get a decent print. Regardless of what people think of their PQ/AQ YRF are at least trying to get their library out on the format. Theres also Eros but they only release big earning movies on blu-ray why cant there be a Sajid Khan styled blu-ray full of features and commentaries for the classic movies?
