This blockbuster film is set for a grand re-release, will show deleted scenes and uncut version, made in Rs 2 crore, film earned Rs..., lead actors are... Bollywood's most iconic film Sholay, which was first released in 1975, is set to re-release on the silver screen, but this time, in its original, cut form. Helmed by Ramesh Sippy, the film will have its world premiere on June 27 in Bologna, Italy, as part of the Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival. Sholay to screen at Bologna Film Festival The special screening of the film will be held at Piazza Maggiore on June 27, 2025, to celebrate Sholay's 50th anniversary. It is a joint collaboration between Film Heritage Foundation and Sippy Films Pvt. Ltd. The full-length version of Sholay, with complete original ending and scenes that were previously cut, will be shown to audiences for the first time. In fact, the resorted version will also include the original ending-in which Thakur kills Gabbar Singh- that was originally cut from the film following directions from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra talk about Sholay's re-release Amitabh Bachchan, who played a key role in the film, expressed his delight about the re-release and said, 'Some things in life remain permanently etched in your mind. Sholay is one such film. Shooting for the film was an unforgettable experience, but at the time I had no idea that it would be a watershed for Indian cinema. Its dramatic change in fortunes from being declared an unsuccessful venture, to its record-breaking box office run was an emotional rollercoaster for all of us. It's wonderful that the Film Heritage Foundation has restored 'Sholay' and that they have managed to locate and include the original ending as well as some deleted scenes in the restoration.I hope that even 50 years later, the film will capture the imagination of new audiences across the world.' Describing Sholay as the 'eight wonder of the world,' veteran actor Dharmendra expressed, 'I am thrilled to hear that the film is being restored and I am sure it will have the same success as it had 50 years ago. Who can forget the dialogues of Salim-Javed and the direction of Ramesh Sippy? So many scenes have gone down in the history of Indian cinema and every character became a star. But the real hero was the coin… My favourite scenes were the tanki scene, the scene in the temple, and so many others, but the most powerful scene I feel was the death of Jai, which is still etched in my mind.' Made in a reported budget of Rs 2 crore, Sholay earned Rs 35 crore in India, and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film for nearly two decades. The film's cast also included Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bachchan and Hema Malini.
