I hope it's really a restoration like "The Apu trilogy" and not a digital remastering with a waxy picture in the end that looks nothing like the original film. We'll know soon enough.

It really is a restoration.

Have you seen it?

[–] benman46 8 years ago

Yes, I saw it at the BFI Southbank in London at the weekend. Flawless reproduction.

So there is proper grain and an intact film look?

[–] benman46 8 years ago

It does look like a real film.

[–] Mr. Bug 8 years ago

I'm looking forward to the Blu Ray then.

Ultra has a gallery kind of thing on their website. http://www.ultraindia.com/pyaasa/#!/ There screenies aren't half as bad as I expected. What do you say?
