has anyone ever seen any censor certificate saying "Gauge - 70mm"? Which are the other confirmed 70mm movies in India? Can we capture screenshots of the censor certs and upload them to this thread?


I don't have any proof, but I do remember watching The Burning Train & Alibaba Aur 40 Chor in 70mm cinema halls when these movies released.

I read some movie magazine in early 80s mentioning about Hema Malini acted in maximum movies, which were released in 70mm prints and the movies were Sholay, The Burning Train, Alibaba Aur 40 Chor, Kranti & Razia Sultan.


Wow!

All I could find was this unhelpful Amazon product description:

http://www.amazon.ca/Ramgarh-Ke-Sholay- ... 6133512040

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramgarh Ke Sholay is a 1991 spoof film that parodies the 1975 classic Bollywood blockbuster Sholay. It was directed by Ajit Diwani. Amjad Khan who played the iconic villain Gabbar Singh in the original film returns to the role of Gabbar in this film. The film also features lookalike actors Vijay Saxena who resembles Amitabh Bachchan (who played Jai in the original Sholay) and Kishore Bhanushali who resembles Dev Anand and has imitated him in many films. The movie also contains the song "Dil Dil Hindustaan" copied from one of the Pakistani Pop hit "Dil Dil Pakistan" by "Vital signs".

Also, Sholay was the first film to be shot in the 70mm format. About 75 to 80 per cent of the film was shot twice, in 35mm and 70mm. The camera was so heavy that it actually took time and effort to move it around and that actually contributed to the film’s languid look.
Well, well, well !

That was exactly my reaction too, upon reading that statement. All these years I had been led to believe that the movie was shot in 35mm and then later blown up to 70mm. Thanks, Bhaskar. This has truly been a revelation.

So what we have on a variety of DVDs -- they are all the 35mm version?

And would there be any perceptible difference in any/some scenes between the 35mm and 70mm versions (barring the "extra" image visible in one of the versions)?

"The "extra" image visible in one of the versions" would be a perceptible difference, would it not?

Not that. I meant if the movie was shot twice, wouldn't there be some difference in angles and/or even placement of actors?

What's the status of 70 mm Sholay ??

Ok, so Ramesh Shippy says that 80% of Sholay was shot in 70 mm as well as on 35 mm negative.
Obviously the original 70mm Sholay film print was made from 70mm negative, whatever available, and the rest 20% blown up from 35mm negative.
Does that original 70mm film print exist anywhere and if it exists, is it (or the orig negative) being stored or taken care of properly ?? It's a common knowledge that 70mm was in a legal limbo and the company involved in 70mm Sholay processing had confiscated/ blocked 70mm prints, negatives or both ??

Any idea, what's the status of 70mm prints or negative ??

Actually the scenes are shot simultaneously and camera angles, placement of actors, i.e. overall composition of the scene are generally always kept identical.
