As we are celebrating 100 years of cinema,  Joy Mukerji Enterprise  brings you a lost jewel from the depths of their hearts. A true jewel that was desired by the Mukerji family and discovered by Monjoy Mukerji (son of late Joy Mukerji) last year in the cold storage of film centre in Worli, Mumbai. They now bring this rare gem forward to the world at large. The gem is an unreleased work ( film ) named "Love  in Bombay" of  late Joy Mukerji, producer and director.

Love-In-Bombay was made in 1973, it has censor certificate issued in January 1975.   Due to reasons best know to late Joy Mukerji, it could not be released. In December 2011 Joy Mukerji agreed to have a world release with any of the leading distribution companies, but as fate would have it, he passed away on 9th March 2012. Without wasting time his son Monjoy gave the negatives for a 2k restoration; it took 9 months to restore the whole motion picture, frame by frame colour correction. They also worked on the audio of the movie for 3 months with composers and sound engineers. 

After nearly a year now, this motion picture "Love in Bombay" is finally ready for its maiden voyage to the cinema and art lovers of the world. It has its music release through HMV SAREGAMA on the 12th of June 2013 and a theatrical release in the month of July 2013, across India and the world. This is also the unreleased work of the legends of our Indian motion pictures, Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar,  Rehman Sahab, music directors Shankar Jaikishen, legendary singer Mohd. Rafi Sahab and Joy Mukerji.

Waheeda Reheman, Sonia Sahani and Asha Bhosle (who has sung two beautiful songs) are the living legends of this film.
