The 1975 Indian cinema landmark “Sholay” will make its “Films in Concert” world premiere at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Oct. 10, with Melvin Tay conducting the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performing R. D. Burman’s score live to screen.

Sippy Films and esk are producing the event.

The screening will present “Sholay: The Final Cut,” a recently restored 4K version of Ramesh Sippy’s film that reinstates footage cut by the Indian censor board in 1975. The print will be projected in Hindi with English subtitles onto a giant HD screen in the Hall’s auditorium. According to Sippy Films, the restored version will be available theatrically for only a limited window.
