Pretty good transfer for its age, will submit laterz..

I don't think so my friend! Atleast not the one I have. It looks terrible, and no it's not a bootleg, but an original criterion release!

thanks for your valuable input!!

May I request if you can submit some screen shots from your original.

If same we are through!

Wadya mean? You can't dump me so easily we're soul mates! Give me time to doctor up some shots! hehehe, just kidding! Will post later when I get home!

Thanks dragun!! That settles it then. Good or Bad

So I guess my SS not needed then?





Agreed, but then again the results of it being shot in Technicolor!

If you still think, you have a different disc, then plss?

But if same and you differ with beaver assesment..then never mind!

It's been awhile since I watched this DVD. So I took another look again and I am very much embarrased to say that I am totally wrong! Seems I confused it with another criterion DVD that I was not overly impressed with!

I am glad you verified.. I thought I had to check, my pair of glasses!

btw..i saw in custody, and bengali night, recently those were not good, so this really stood out..

I would recommend watching PASSAGE TO INDIA! though.

Ah yes, an excellent movie with a great performance by young Victor Banerjee. Could post some SS if anyone interested! Waiting for Bengali Night lets see if any good!

INDEED!!Immensely liked him in this role!

I loved the way director just kept it subtle and under the rug till very end!

May I ask, if English girl was the same who later appears as old granny in Kisna?

No. World class Judy Davis is not in any Subhash Gai films.

Hmmm! Not sure which English girl you're refering to ( Judy Davis?) You do have an Antonia Pemberton (middle aged) in APTI and an Antonia Bernath ( Young, Vibrant and kicking! ) in Kisna.

Judy Davis..the main character in Passage to India!!!! not the older lady who dies!

is Judy Davis in Kisna too..as Old English lady, older role of the young Kisna's lover girl?
