Eros International has announced the long awaited release of the huge family drama Baghban on DVD and VHS. The film saw the comeback of multi-talented producer Dr. BR Chopra whose classic hits included 'Waqt', 'Naya Daur' and 'Pati Patni Aur Woh'. The legendary movie mogul founded B R films in 1955 and is one of India's most respected filmmakers of all time. Theatrically, Baghban has done exceptionally well, being the third highest grossing Bollywood film of the year and taking nearly £750,000.

The film stars Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, who is reunited with the BR Chopra after more than a decade, as well as Mahima Choudhury, heart-throb Salman Khan and last but not least, the dream girl of the 1970s, Hema Malini. Ravi Chopra - son of BR, directs it.

Fans of the "Big B" and Malini are in for a treat, as both stars light up the screen with their sizzling chemistry, which is even more riveting than twenty years ago when they last appeared together. The real life rapport between Amitabh and Salman is also clearly evident, as they play father and son in the movie.

Aadesh Shivastava is the music composer for the film and has produced an impressive soundtrack. The music maestro has even managed to rope in the Big B himself to sing his heart out on four songs- one of them being 'Chali Chali'.
