I can confirm that
Marykkundaru Kunjaadu will be released on blu-ray.
Sadly, there was no DPX file for this film. We went to the original 35mm camera negatives and it was in a BAD state.
It had plenty of wear and tear that weren't repairable (unless we took it to Lowry - which is very unlikely).
In addition to this, the film had poor production values and contained some messed up lens/filmstock choices. Whoever was in charge of cinematography should have been fired!!!
Still the blu-ray looks better then the theatrical showing, and was telecined @ 2K approved by the film-maker (shudder).
I personally think the Malayalam industry needs a wake up call. Low budget should not mean comprimises. They should look at film industries in Iran, Turkey, South Korea... who produce amazing looking features for around the same budget. Maybe I should make a South Indian film to prove a point
lol
