Arundhati Roy's 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones' to Premiere in 4K at Berlinale 2026
A long-lost film called 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones' is coming back to life.
Made in 1989, it was written by Arundhati Roy, who also acted in it.
The film is about a rebellious student named Annie in a Delhi architecture school.
It features early appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and Manoj Bajpayee.
The film was only shown once on TV and then disappeared.
Now, it has been carefully restored to look brand new and will premiere at a big film festival in Berlin in 2026.
Arundhati Roy and the director, Pradip Krishen, might be there too.
The film is special because it shows a side of student life that wasn't often seen in Indian cinema back then.
Arundhati Roy's 1989 film 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones' will premiere in 4K at Berlinale 2026.
The film is a campus story set in a Delhi architecture school in the 1970s, following a rebellious student named Annie.
Arundhati Roy wrote the screenplay and acted in the film, drawing from her own experiences as a student.
The film features early appearances by Shah Rukh Khan and Manoj Bajpayee, among others.
The film was restored using the original 16 mm camera negative and a 35 mm print, with support from various film heritage organizations.
