Kinara was directed by Gulzar with songs composed by R.D. The uploader pulled it off of an old VHS tape, so unfortunately the quality is not the greatest, and the subtitles are sort of in and out at times but allow you to get the gist of what's happening. Imagine my surprise when a quick search for Kinara images pulled up a result of the whole film! I had figured that the few dance clips YouTube user tripmonk0 graciously posted would be the only bits I would be able to see of this film, ever. While I go back and recreate my post, I thought I would post the most exciting news that some kind soul has uploaded the entire film Kinara with English subtitles! I almost fell off my couch when I found it because word on the street for the longest time has been that this film is simply not commercially available. So note to all my blogging friends out there using Blogger: Always back up your work! Do not press Control + Z EVER!!! *Minai ends fuming rant of fury* And yes folks, it is impossible to revert to a previous version of a saved draft blogger post. Then, Blogger's insane autosave feature kicked in and saved the blank post. Unfortunately, I hit control + Z to cut and paste an image and it deleted everything in my post.
For the past few days I've been working on a post about my "Holy Grail" classical dance films that seem to be commercially unavailable or obscure and hard to find.
