Kamal’s Classic Film Getting A 12K Re-Release!

The Indian cinema is growing by leaps and bounds with each passing day. We have secured the Oscars and our films are getting huge collections which are on part with some hit Hollywood flicks. We are getting a lot of love from foreign countries as well. We are exploring new techniques and new technologies in order to better ourselves.

We have seen movies released in 4K resolution. Though 8K is also available, most of the theatres in India could only run 4K movies. Even televisions are giving 4K displays these days. Imagine how great it would be if we could get 12K resolution that too for an old film. Prasad Corporation of Chennai made it possible recently.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘Hey Ram’ which came out in 2000 has been upgraded and a new print is readied. This means that this film can be viewed with intense clarity and we doubt that if it was really made 24 years ago or not. The re-release of this film happened a few years back in Tamil Nadu. 4K resolution was used then but it did not happen for any Telugu film till date. Now, movie lovers are asking for a dubbed version of ‘Hey Ram’ in Telugu.

For people who don’t know, ‘Hey Ram’ revolves around Gandhi’s controversial death and Kamal Haasan played the lead role apart from directing it. Shah Rukh Khan played a special role while Ilayaraja gave the music. The movie is three and a half hours long and the original version can be viewed directly on YouTube.

Staggering Business Of ‘Pushpa 2’ Wowing People!

It looks like the business of ‘Pushpa 2’ is exceeding the expectations. The movie is being readied to hit the screens on 15th August and sources claim that the Hindi rights of this action entertainer was grabbed by Anil Tadani for 200 crores. This became a huge topic in social media. The official news hasn’t come out regarding this but this gossip is all over the social media. The buyers claim that the agreements being made by Anil Tadani with them is the proof of it. Many claim that such a huge figure is not expected.

Going back, there are a few things that we should notice. Goldmines company which acquired the rights of ‘Pushpa 1’ was not keen on releasing it in theatres. They want to dub the movie in Hindi and release it on YouTube once the Telugu theatrical run is completed. But Allu Arjun and Mythri team convinced them to have a theatrical release in the North. It turned out to be a wonderful move as the movie gave them huge returns. Bunny’s following grew immensely and ‘Pushpa’ became a sensation.

The result of the first part is the reason why ‘Pushpa 2’ is getting such huge business. The makers are yet to begin promotions on a full-fledged note but the trade inquiries have already begun. Some experts are claiming that the records of ‘KGF’ and ‘Baahubali’ might be vanished when ‘Pushpa 2’ releases in the North. Having such a huge craze in the North market without Rajamouli’s brand is astonishing. The songs, trailer, pre-release event and lyrical videos will increase the hype further. Let us see how big ‘Pushpa 2’ becomes in the coming days.
