Wonderful, and important cinema. Films that have survived, only with a bit of luck, and a great deal of technical expertise, sweat, funding, and passion.

Your purchase supports the longevity of cinema, and proper film restoration.

Your order would be a pre-order, I think. As far as I know, no release date has been officially announced, although I've seen a lot of predictions for November.

There was an npr interview with criterion in the last week in which they said it'd be released in November.

Craig S · May 13, 2015

November would be good - just in time for the B&N 50% off sale!!

Resurrecting the damaged features would take the foresight and vigilance of the Academy Film Archive, worldwide searches for surviving prints, a 20-year wait for the right technology and two-plus years of meticulous digital restoration by the whizzes at the Criterion Collection — "the hardest thing we've ever done," according to Peter Becker, the DVD label's president and a partner in sister company Janus Films, distributor of the films.

Great news. But there are many more classic Indian films that need restoration and Blu Ray releases. Where are the Raj Kapoor classics? Where is Guru Dutt? Where is Ritwik Ghatak?...

They did do one Ghatak: A RIVER CALLED TITAS, in their WCF box set.

...which also happens to be my least favorite Ghatak. Cmon guys, how about THE CLOUD-CAPPED STAR or THE GOLDEN THREAD?

There is a long list of Indian movies, including that of Ray’s, that the Criterion intends to restore. “We will soon work on Ray’s Devi. We are also trying to get some Guru Dutt as well as classic Bollywood titles. But as proven with The Apu Trilogy, these things can take a while to come through,” says Kline.
