After watching re-colorized versions of classical Bollywood movies such as Mughal-e-Azam or Hum Dono, time to revisit Crime Master Gogo and the playful equation between the legendary Amar and Prem (and their love interests) this month with the re-release of Andaz Apna Apna in cinemas. Who is a fan of Andaz Apna Apna here and would you go and watch the film on the big screen? We are leaving a post where re-release confirmed dates will be posted hopefully in the near future. Click here.

I haven't seen AAA, BUT...I like Amir and Salman (most of us BW fans like at least one of them, after all.) Given the opportunity, I'd definitely go and see it in a theatre. Then again, I'd really be willing to see most Indian films on the big screen.

I liked Andaz Apna Apna when I saw it, I am all for these rereleases of older movies and was bummed that Sholay 3D didn't come anywhere near me, but November/December's a bad time for me to try to get out and see a Bollywood movie (I might be seeing Interstellar in Imax at the Big Theater Far Away I normally go to for Bollywood, with the non-bollyviewers, but pretty much nothing in Bollywood takes precedent over seeing a Nolan movie, on a topic that interests me, the way it was meant to be seen, and Aamir and Salman in The Road to Ooty definitely do not.)

I think this is an untapped market - at least here in the US - re-releasing old classics onto the big screen. I think I've posted about this before (but I didn't follow through)
I would 100% go see Andaz Apna Apna in a theater. i didn't know Sholay came out! Although I'm not too sure about 3D-ing it.. that sounds weird. Odadune - even though you didn't get to see it, do you know how it turned out in 3D? I say leave the classics alone.

veracious, who used to post on the old Bollywhat forums, reviewed 3D Sholay here: sotheydance.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-month-in-india-part-7-sholay-3d.htmlIt sounds like they gussied it up in the wrong ways in a couple places, but it ultimately didn't hurt the film much. OT from Bollywood, I read an interesting argument by someone recently to the effect that the best post-conversion 3D job (basically using computer to make a 3d adaptation of a 2D film, which is how the vast majority of 3D movies are done today) they'd ever seen was the 1939 Wizard of Oz, and argued that in some ways older movies held up better than newer ones in these post-conversion jobs, because the modern trend towards rapid cutting, visually dark (as in low-light level) imagery, and jerky camera movements tend to play poorly in 3D, and the brightly lit, leisurely paced Technicolor films that Hollywood was making in the 1940s and 1950s might work rather well in 3D, with their long takes, static cameras and elaborate production values.
