What
is
the
status
quo
of
the
work
done
on
the
film?
The
work
is
still
going
on.
We
have
just
finished
colouring
a
small
demo
which
we
will
be
showing
to
the
world
during
the
announcement
of
the
film.
We
want
this
to
be
the
breaking
news
as
something
of
this
class
is
happening
for
the
first
time
in
Indian
cinema.
We
are
expecting
to
finish
the
work
by
the
end
of
December.
What
is
the
budget
of
the
colorization
of
the
film?
As
this
is
the
joint
venture
between
us
and
Navketan
films,
budget
is
not
really
our
issue
of
worry.
We
are
colouring
and
releasing
the
movie
and
we
have
come
to
a
consensus
with
Navketan
about
the
budget.
What
are
the
technical
challenges
faced
while
coloring
this
film?
There
are
3
issues
of
concern.
Firstly,
we
are
showing
65,000
shades
of
colour
in
a
single
frame
of
the
movie.
Secondly,
in
India,
there
is
no
screen
where
we
can
show
35mm
photo.
Every
screen
has
become
wide
screen.
So,
this
movie
had
to
be
converted
into
cinemascope
to
be
screened.
So
we
are
converting
the
film
into
cinemascope
using
an
inhouse
built
technology
of
a
company
based
outside
India.
Thirdly,
we
are
converting
the
sound
into
Dolby
6.1.
So
in
short,
the
sound
is
converted
to
7-channel,
the
film
is
converted
to
cinemascope
and
it
is
being
colourised.
You
would
be
surprised
to
see
the
film
on
a
wide
screen.
Will
attempts
like
re-releasing
old
classics
give
the
new
age
audience
a
feel
of
the
golden
era?
Yes,
absolutely
and
that
is
what
our
aim
is.
We
aim
to
reintroduce
one
of
the
greatest
classics
to
the
new
generation
who
just
refuse
to
watch
anything
that
is
black
and
white.
That
the
classic
is
in
colour
will
encourage
them
to
watch
the
film.
B
R
Chopra's
Naya
Daur
is
also
re-releasing
in
the
coloured
version.
Will
that
be
a
competition
to
Hum
Dono?
There
is
absolutely
no
competition
for
Hum
Dono
because
of
the
technology
used.
Hum
Dono
is
going
to
look
much
better
than
Naya
Daur.
I
am
praising
the
work
because
I
am
the
head,
but
I
am
praising
because
India
has
actually
not
come
across
such
well-
made
coloured
remakes.
You
will
believe
what
I
am
saying
only
after
seeing
the
film.
Any
other
films
which
are
in
the
process
of
being
colored?
Yes,
we
have
already
signed
6
Telegu
films
and
3
Tamil
films.
We
have
already
finished
work
on
10
minutes
of
a
Kannada
film.
In
India
not
many
films
have
been
coloured
since
the
past
15
years.
We
aim
to
finish
at
least
12
movies
in
the
coming
3
years
which
nobody
has
ever
accomplished.
Are
there
any
Hindi
films
in
the
pipeline?
Yes,
there
are.
But
we
don't
want
to
divulge
any
details
as
now
we
want
to
concentrate
on
Hum
Dono
or
else
we
will
get
people's
attention
diverted
and
divided.
The
story
of
Hum
Dono
Captain
Mahesh
Anand
and
Major
Manohar
Verma
(both
played
by
Dev
Anand)
are
look-alikes.
So
when
Major
Verma
goes
missing
during
war,
he
is
believed
to
be
dead.
Mahesh
now
has
to
break
the
news
to
his
family.
Unfortunately,
when
Mahesh
reaches
Major
Verma's
place,
he
is
mistaken
to
be
Verma.
The
Major's
mother
and
sick
wife
Ruma
(Nanda)
think
that
it
is
Manohar.
Unable
to
tell
the
family
the
truth
he
takes
the
identity
of
Manohar.
But
Mahesh
is
in
love
with
Meeta
(Sadhana)
who
ends
up
thinking
that
he
doesn't
love
her
anymore.
On
the
other
hand
Ruma
thinks
that
her
husband
is
in
love
with
another
woman.
Mahesh
cannot
confide
the
truth
to
anyone
and
that
forms
the
most
interesting
part
of
this
film.
