Overview
- The nationwide rollout was officially announced on social media, confirming a December 12, 2025 return to cinemas across approximately 1,500 theaters.
- The film has been restored in 4K with Dolby 5.1 by the Film Heritage Foundation, with producers Sippy Films handling the release.
- This edition presents the original uncut climax for public viewing for the first time since the movie’s making, without revealing narrative details in advance.
- The change to the ending before the 1975 release followed Central Board of Film Certification directives during the Emergency, and the anniversary reissue reframes that history.
- The restored print drew attention with an earlier 2025 showcase at TIFF, while some box-office commentary remains speculative and unverified.
