Asif’s film, concerning an emperor disapproving of his son’s relationship to a court dancer and the ensuing war, was a landmark in Indian cinema, holding the title of highest grossing Indian film of all time for 15 years following its release, generating day-long queues for tickets at the time. About half an hour of the originally released film was filmed in colour, with the rest in black-and-white, before the film reached yet another milestone in becoming the first Hindi film to be digitally colourised decades later. The fully restored, remastered colourised version of this revered classic is a perfect example of the scale, craft and history of Indian cinema, and screens in the UK for the first time as part of the Indian Film Festival.</div>DramaPT3H17MPG2026-12-06INhi
