TIFF 2025 to spotlight 'Sholay,' Satyajit Ray's 'Aranyer Din Ratri'
TIFF 2025 (starting September 4) is going big on Indian films this year, with restored classics like "Sholay" (1975) and Satyajit Ray's "Aranyer Din Ratri" (1970) hitting the screen.
The festival's programming head, Robyn Citizen, says this reflects TIFF's focus on connecting with Toronto's Indian community.

Plus, Hansal Mehta and Sameer Nair's series "Gandhi," spotlighting Mahatma Gandhi's early years, will premiere in TIFF's Primetime section.
The festival runs through September 14.
