Restored 4K Version of Meena Kumari's 'Pakeezah' to Premiere at Lyon and London Festivals
The 1972 classic film 'Pakeezah,' directed by Kamal Amrohi and starring Meena Kumari, has undergone a two-year 4K restoration led by the Film Heritage Foundation in collaboration with the Amrohi family. The restoration faced challenges due to damaged original negatives and faded film elements, aided by original stills and family consultations. The restored film will premiere globally at the Festival Lumière in Lyon, France, followed by a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival, celebrating its cinematic legacy.
