Entertainment Nov 16, 2025

Sholay, the legendary 1975 film, is making a big-screen comeback on December 12, 2025.
This new version—called Sholay - The Final Cut—has been fully restored in 4K and will play across 1,500 screens nationwide, marking the largest re-release ever in India.

Experience the original ending for the 1st time

For the first time since its debut, fans can watch Sholay with its original ending, which was cut by censors back in 1975.
This restored version brings back director Ramesh Sippy's full vision—including Thakur's revenge on Gabbar Singh—and lets both longtime fans and new viewers experience why Sholay still shapes Indian cinema today.
