Where to watch Sholay: The Final Cut in Hyderabad? Theatres list

Hyderabad: The iconic Bollywood classic Sholay (1975) is returning to the big screen in a brand-new avatar titled ‘Sholay: The Final Cut’, featuring the original climax and two previously deleted scenes.

Originally released on August 15, 1975, the cult classic will now be reintroduced to audiences with its fully restored, uncut 4K version and Dolby 5.1 sound. The re-release marks the film’s 50th anniversary and will showcase its original, uncensored ending for the first time in Indian theatres.

The original climax, where Thakur Baldev Singh kills Gabbar Singh using spiked shoes, was removed due to strict censorship during India’s Emergency period in the 1970s. The restored version will finally bring this much-discussed scene to the big screen.

Sholay: The Final Cut will hit cinemas worldwide on Friday, December 12, 2025, releasing across 1,500 screens in India and several international territories.
