Herald Bureau2 weeks ago2 weeks ago07 mins

The film’s original ending, where Thakur kills Gabbar with his spiked shoes, was censored by the CBFC for its violence, replaced with a tamer arrest scene. Now, the Film Heritage Foundation’s 4K restoration, led by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, has revived this lost ending, along with deleted scenes like Ahmed’s brutal death, unearthed from decaying 35mm negatives found in a Mumbai gunny bag.

It’s set to hit the Toronto Film Festival in September, reaffirming its global stature.
