Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, Parinda Return in 8K · deccanchronicle.com

Vinod Chopra Films has restored its entire library of films to stunning 8K resolution and remastered the soundscape to Dolby 5.1 surround sound.

This restoration took over 5 years and was done at Mumbai’s Prasad Film Labs and Bologna’s L'Immagine Ritrovata.

These films were not available on any platform since the start of 2026.

NH Studioz and Vinod Chopra Films have announced a long-term partnership to manage and represent the library across multiple rights and platforms worldwide.

The partnership includes a cinema-first approach, with selected films returning to theatres before expanding across television, streaming platforms, FAST Channels, and other non-theatrical platforms.

The deal is reportedly worth more than 150 Crores.

This collaboration expands NH Studioz’s library to over 5,000 films, reinforcing its position as India’s largest film rights company.
