About the Event:
Experience a once in a lifetime screening of the fully restored, uncut 4K version of Sholay, presented on the big screen exactly as it was meant to be seen.
Originally released in 1975 and directed by Ramesh Sippy, this multi-starrer cult classic captivated audiences worldwide with its unforgettable characters, sweeping storytelling, and groundbreaking action sequences. Decades later, it remains one of the most celebrated landmarks of Indian cinema.
This meticulously restored edition, a collaboration between the Film Heritage Foundation and Sippy Films Pvt. Ltd., includes:
✨ The original, uncensored ending
🎞️ Previously deleted scenes not included in the theatrical release
🎬 A stunning 4K restoration honoring the film’s original vision
🎤 Live Q&A After the Screening
Stay after the film for a special conversation with Shehzad Sippy, Managing Director of Sippy Films and nephew of director Ramesh Sippy, who spearheaded the restoration effort.
He will share insights into the legacy of the film, the restoration process, and what it means to bring this iconic epic to a new generation.
👢 Dress Code: Desi Cowboy
Come in your very best Desi Cowboy attire. This will be an unforgettable afternoon of cinema and community.
