So the blu-rays have shifted to Japan now?
Or, they are being discovered only now because there are no blu-ray releases in India anymore?

Quite liked this movie by the way

What's up with all the JP releases? First Gully Boy, now Manikarnika. Nothing is releasing on BD anymore in India.

Actually, I must say that I'm glad to note that other countries are picking this up as blu-rays may have already died in India - even Bollywood ones seemed to have slowed down significantly since the last year. But DVD production seems to have increased..... LOL (I see quite a few new DVD releases including the ones in southern languages and at great frequency). Maybe, next, we'll start seeing some VCD releases...... We're "back-sliding." hahaha

Thats great. Its costly to import but at least we get a better encoding and product. Hope they do the Tanhaji as well. Its shame this movie went straight to hotstar exclusive without any signs of BD release.

i purchased both blu rays from amazon japan, once i found button translate to english. So Japan it is , i will buy my blu rays from Japan

Screw indian companies. They will find out when coronavirus fear hits theatres in India. Italy movie industry shut already entire country. US is effected, bond movie is delayed, people are staying away from theatres. Blue rays and dvd were stream of additional income, but indian companies are stupid and don't know how to capitalize. when people stop going to theatres to watch movies which will be a long term trend maybe for one year, and movies are not available on blu ray dvd, we will resort to buying pirated copies, or from Germany and Japan. Let them find out hard way. I am buying pirated third party blu rays , they are taking our dollars, smart.

Trust me - no pandemic in the world can convince the "vast majority" of Indians, including the well-heeled ones, to buy blu-rays. So many people have actually told me that it's absolutely ridiculous to buy these things in this day and age! In fact, my own teenage kids think I'm beyond crazy to buy blu-rays while it is perfectly okay for them to buy more expensive video games! Go figure.....

All theatres in United States closed for several months, i could not watch Angreezi Medium, Governor closed all theatres. People are not going to theatres, so for next six months all movies will not garner anything in box office. India most regions theatres closing.Baaghi 3 was effected badly, box office completely tapered down this week. Now they wont even release blu rays so none of these movies will get watched by us. Corona has already killed movie business. All US major releases are moved to next year or later this year. Fast and furious now moved to 2021, Bond movie moved from May to November maybe.

If they released blu rays maybe we could watch them and they could get revenue stream, but no they are dumb indian distributors. A blu ray that costs maybe 6 dollars they cant figure way to make profit. The Japanese can make the profit, the germans can subltitle a movie from hindi make pristine copy and still make a profit after shipping it to the United States , figure.
