REMASTER SHOLAY Full UNCUT IN IMAX 70MM FILM 4k uncensored “Original”
version, with 204 minute Dolby Atmos
Directors cut with all the uncut scenes

Unfortunately, at present, it remains a bit of a challenge to see “Sholay” as it was meant to be. The theatrical release ran 188 minutes, the US re-cut a mystifyingly fragmented 162, with Sippy's preferred cut clocking at a robust 204. This cut, while available after a bit of a search, is nonetheless not matted in the way Sippy intended, which was as if it had been shot on 70mm film, in 2.2:1 aspect ratio. This was the manner in which it was exhibited theatrically, in much the same grandeur auteurs like Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino seek today. In short, if ever a film was begging for a Criterion Collection edition, it is “Sholay.”

With the 49th Anniversary of the Film's original release in 1975, the film deserves a cinematic/Blu Ray/4K restoration and release. The criterion team stands ready to undertake this task, we just need to urge  Sholay Media And Entertainment to Green-light the project.

“Sholay,” by many reckonings the most popular film in the history of India, turned 49 on August 2024 but due to extremely inefficient cultural osmosis, it may remain an unknown quantity to Western filmgoers. Thus, to the rescue, an analogy: “Sholay” is like the sun. It seems as though it has always been in the sky, outshining other, fainter stars half the time. It is, as all things, fair game for criticism, but it's not going anywhere and in any case, it gives life, and its nonexistence is, at this point, unthinkable

Though George R.R. Martin said that art is not a democracy, here are some long-storied cuts we'll never see, but would've loved to.
