Wonderful to see historic films archived like this on YouTube. As other comments have noted, old films are particularly difficult to store & maintain. And they pose a very high fire danger if not properly housed. For that reason, many great film classics have been lost - or exist only in private collections. By sharing on YouTube, these cinematic jewels are available for all to see. Thank you for posting this.

I am Dadasahebs grandson kiran phalke.As far as i remember we had given some films to FT and they had promised us a copy but they never came back. Whatever films we had became so much spoiled that it had become dangerous to keep at home so they were burnt as they were all stuck together and posed a fire threat.
