Aranyer Din Ratri Returns in 4K
A very old and famous movie called Aranyer Din Ratri is coming back to theaters in a super clear 4K version.
It's about four city boys who go on a trip to the forest and learn important lessons about life.
The movie is special because it talks about big ideas like class and gender in a really smart way.
It was made by a famous director named Satyajit Ray over 50 years ago.
Now, a company called PVR INOX is bringing it back so new people can watch it on the big screen and old fans can enjoy it again.
The movie will be shown in five big cities in India.
It was also shown at a famous movie festival called Cannes this year.
Aranyer Din Ratri, a classic film by Satyajit Ray, is being re-released in 4K restored print on January 9, 2026.
The film follows four urban men whose forest trip challenges their views on life, love, and identity.
Starring Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, Aparna Sen, and Simi Garewal, it explores themes of class, gender, and privilege.
PVR INOX is releasing the film in select theatres across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune.
