Film Heritage Foundation’s 4K restoration of Ramesh Sippy’s “Sholay – The Final Cut” continues to resonate with audiences across the world! “Sholay” was screened on March 18, 2026 in Pittsburgh at 6 p.m. at the Harris Theatre, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, 809, Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Sholay is restored by Film Heritage Foundation at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in association with Sippy Films using the best surviving elements: an interpositive and two colour reversal intermediates found in a warehouse in UK and a second interpositive dating from 1978 deposited by Sippy Films and preserved by Film Heritage Foundation.
This restoration of the film in 4K includes the original ending as well as two deleted scenes and with the original 70 mm aspect ratio of 2.2:1. The sound was restored using the original sound negative, and the magnetic soundtrack preserved by Film Heritage Foundation.
