THE EASTERN ELECTRONIC FESTIVAL ARE PROUD TO PRESENT
1|3|11 - FREE EVENT: FILM SCREENING OF SHOLAY//KAROKE NIGHT// & UK PREMIER OF SHOLAY FLIP-ANIMATION

Get involved and tune in those vocal chords for a special Bollywood karaoke-sing along and film screening of the classic film SHOLAY presented by Bollywood Jollygood.

One of the biggest hits in history of Bollywood, Sholay (in English as Embers, Flames, Flames of the Sun), was recognized as the Best Film of 50 years at the 50th Filmfare awards.It was India's first 70 mm, stereophonic sound film and was released on Friday, August 15, 1975, with as many as 250 prints, including at the Minerva Theatre in Bombay (now Mumbai).

Directed by Ramesh Sippy and produced by G P Sippy, altered the course of Indian cinema. This was the first film in the history of Indian cinema to celebrate silver jubilee (25 weeks) at over a hundred theatres across India. To date, more than 1,100 prints of Sholay are in circulation-the highest number for any Hindi film.

To commemorate this epic film we’re also proud to present an UK premier, short flip-animation made by Sumit Sabharwal & Vikas Pundir from India.
