Nitin-actually, most of S Ray's films HAVE been re-released by Columbia.  The prints were re-mastered by James Ivory (of the Ivory/Merchant team)..."The Adversary", "The Chessplayer" and "Home And The World" (tr?) are the only ones left to be re-mastered as far as I know.

And I agree about S Ray...he was simply amazing, but he's often overshadowed (by me at least, but I'm sure by most people) by his mentor Jean Renoir simply because they both dealt with similar subjects in similar ways.  But Ray is somebody who SHOULDN'T be forgotten, and he's starting to get a cult following up here in Seattle, so I guess that's good.
