It's not a Bollywood film but can we get this type of restoration to our Bollywood oldies ??
Have you heard of METROPOLIS, a 1927 silent film from Germany, the very first Science Fiction film.
They restored it in 2010 to 145-148 min out of 155 min original (there also was a premiere cut at 210 min), with great effort. It's also avail on Blu Ray now. (Prior recent versions were 80-120 min range). Audio used to be Live Orchestra, but now the restored version has sound recorded on the film.
The restored version has been running in the Art Circuit Cinemas. This week I'll get a chance to see it in Edmonton.

"Restoration turned this from classic to one of the all time greatest?"
