King Nagarjuna’s evergreen romantic classic Geethanjali is all set to make a grand comeback to theatres in a beautifully restored 4K version. Directed by legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam, the iconic film will have a worldwide theatrical re-release on August 28, coinciding with Nagarjuna’s birthday and the festive occasion of Raksha Bandhan.
The classic will be released in both Telugu and Tamil. Shree Padmini Cinemas, headed by Boorle Shiva Prasad, is bringing the beloved film back to the big screen with advanced technological enhancements.
Widely regarded as one of the most memorable romantic films in Indian cinema, Geethanjali continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences for its emotional storytelling, breathtaking visuals and Ilaiyaraaja’s unforgettable music.
Nagarjuna’s charming yet vulnerable portrayal of the protagonist, coupled with Girija’s performance, created a strong emotional connection with audiences. Mani Ratnam’s signature visual style further enhanced the film’s appeal, helping it remain a timeless favourite even decades after its original release.
The 4K restoration has been carried out to deliver a superior theatrical experience, featuring sharper visuals, richer colours and enhanced sound quality. The re-release is expected to offer longtime fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane while allowing a new generation of moviegoers to experience the magic of Geethanjali on the big screen.
