Shehzad Sippy on Sholay: The Final cut's release
“This is a milestone that finally presents Sholay exactly as it was meant to be seen,” said Shehzad Sippy, who is reviving the Sippy Films banner. “This edition includes the film’s original ending and R.D. Burman’s original soundtrack. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen for the very first time.”The restoration is the result of a three-year collaboration between the Film Heritage Foundation and Sippy Films, premiering earlier this year at Italy’s Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival. That screening marked the first time viewers witnessed the original ending — where Thakur kills Gabbar Singh, instead of handing him over to the police — a climactic moment cut by the censor board in 1975 during the Emergency.
About Shoalay
Written by the legendary duo Salim-Javed,
Sholay's initial release saw a lukewarm response; the 204-minute epic went on to dominate Indian cinema for nearly two decades after its August 15, 1975, debut. It ran for five straight years at Mumbai’s Minerva cinema, was voted the greatest Indian film ever made by a 2002 BFI poll, and was named
Film of the Millennium by BBC India in 1999.
