Ranging from Vinod Chopra's first film Khamosh to the entire films made under the banner like Parinda, 1942 Love Story, Pareenita, Kareeb, Mission Kashmir, Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai and three Idiots - all 11 films can be showcased.

The retrospective may be done nationally in all PVR Cinemas from March 29 to April 4.The finest a part of this retrospective is that known filmmakers will moderate an artistic discussion after every film.

The schedule is as follows:

Some of the actors of those films may also be joining the discussion. That is for the primary time that this sort of step have been taken.

In order to screen the films, Vinod Chopra Production needed to restore a few of their films visually in addition to their sound as they were very old. This was a pain staking exercise for all the team because the sound have been upgraded to 5.1 Dolby.
