This film is a fascinating entry in early documentary cinema, and its scarcity makes it a notable piece for collectors. You don't often see public figures from this era captured in such a direct manner, which adds to its historical value. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but original prints are increasingly hard to come by, drawing interest from collectors who appreciate the nuances of pre-sound filmmaking and the social context of British India.
