The Hidden World of "Parvarish" (1977)

"Parvarish" has already been written about extensively, for instance, at Beth Loves Bollywood. However, using startling new techniques, scientists are beginning to uncover entirely new images, long thought lost to time. Thanks to modern technology, you will witness moments that have gone unseen for over 30 years......until now.

Funding for this project came from the Rockefeller Foundation, National Geographic, PBS, and viewers like you. Thank you.
