4K Restoration of Classic Film Pakeezah to Premiere at Lyon and London Festivals
The 1972 classic film Pakeezah, directed by Kamal Amrohi and starring Meena Kumari, has been restored in 4K by the Film Heritage Foundation over two years. The restoration faced challenges due to damaged original negatives and faded elements, aided by original film stills and consultations with Amrohi's family. The restored version will premiere globally at Festival Lumière in Lyon, France, followed by a UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, including a gala screening at the BFI IMAX.
