The CXR lamp can be substituted by the CXL which is also an 8 volt 50 watt lamp. The only difference is the outside appearance of the lamps, the CXR looks like 'Robby the Robot' with its peculiar sivered robot look, but the CXL is functionally an identical lamp in a conventional cyclindrical shape and with the suspended internal reflector mirror in the identical location as on the CXR (where the mirror is silvered on the inside of the lamp envelope). The Sylvania CXL lamps are available from Tob Bulb in the USA (www.topbulb.com) and lists at $25.99. I use these bulbs on my standard 9 Bolex 18-5 which originally came with the 'bulbous'CXR lamp, and there is no difference in performance.

Shiladitya,
I could not remember that particular movie, since it is not my gem, I was just caught by surprise at that time (but surely it is not Kuch, kuch hota hae... ).
Just a bit out of the topic, here is in Fiji 45% of the population is Indian. No body in this forum knows that, doesn't it? except Trevor of course.
Ok back to the film. Shiladitya, you are a bit late to come to this forum. A few weeks ago someone post this ebay's lot
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6474650543
Waaauuw hundreds of Bollywood movies (in 35mm) were sold for $99!. Some of them are stereo, Dolby and DTS!!
Geeez...I believe in your country it will be worth more, even for the cell of the pictures, we can make something. Or even only the films can could be used for something else.
(Note: In the developing countries, 35 mm movie cells are cut and with reflector, mirror and magnifier it become nice entairtainment unit... ).
Back again to 8mm, so as you are concerned no 8mm Indian movies were ever released, but what about western/Hollywood movies? Were there available there?
Cheers,
