Sholay 3D box office collections, the new version of cult classic film 'Sholay' have hit Rs 7.30 crore in the domestic market in first four days after being released on January 3.
Sholay 3D, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini in their unforgettable roles has been released in a stereoscopic 3D version, 38 years after its original release.
Sholay 3D box office collection were tagged at Rs 1.50 crore on the opening day. It did Rs 4.80 crore over the weekend (Rs 2.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.55 crore on Sunday) and Rs 1 crore on Monday, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Interestingly, Sholay is the longest movie to be made in 3D. It took 3 years to convert the 160+ minute masterpiece, with 250 people working on the film to convert it into digital 3D format, which was headed by Frank Foster who is a computer animator in the UK.
Help was needed with the additional technical consultation from Hollywood DI, a US based production studio. Chairman and MD of Maya Digital Studios, Ketan Mehta, mentioned there was some difficulty in completing the film in 3D:
"The scene where Hema Malini tries to pluck mangoes was the most difficult scene for 3D conversion," he explained.
The technology that was used made sure the film didn't look blurred even without the 3D glasses: "When we speak about depth and 3D, each individual portion is a separate layer, with its own depth.
"From her nose, to the hair, to the flexed hand, to each and every tree, to every leaf of each tree become a separate layer which had to be pulled out individually and then composited together to form a 3D frame with the right depth," Mehta said.
The grandson of G.P Sippy, Sascha Sippy was passionate about developing the epic film Sholay in 3D, as he mentioned that he wanted to present the movie to a newer audience.
He said: "Since most would have already watched it on television and theatres earlier, a newer way to present it was through technology."
