Thanks for replying bro

In Tamil channels, what I have noticed is that some of the movies released after 2000 and all the movies released after 2011 are in HD in both Sun and Vijay TV. I never had Zee Tamil HD only SD in D2H so cannot comment on them.

Sun Tv was ruling the roost among Tamil Channels and most of the Hit movies are with them Vijay TV had started garnering more TV rights after 2010s if I am not wrong and most of their movies procured during that time has HD.

Mostly the hit movies of 2000s are restored in HD in Sunnetwork like Ezhumalai, Kadhal Kondein, 7G rainbow colony, Winner, Vallavan, Mandhan and many more. They are not completely restored to True HD but better than their upscaled ones and have that orange tint like every movie in SunTv.

The restored movies of Suntv are available in OTTs as well. Check the quality below

Bro after 2010 most of the movies are shot in digital cameras. So they can be easily shown in HD. Some movies in 2000-2010 period are also shot on digital cameras.

But 99% films before 2010 are shot on 35mm film. So these are the films we should observe.

Sun is a pioneer In that. I think films which need proper 4K restoration are Raajkamal Films library. Thevar Magan , Magalir Mattum, Virumaandi, Sathya all these films should be restored with good prints. Another Movies which I think need restoration are Arunachalam, Baba, Suriyan (Sarathkumar), Gentleman and Ullasam

They did a commendable job with Chandramukhi though. It was in my opinion restored perfectly

Hello Everyone,

This is about discussion related to the movie restoration to be released in 1080P

The first restoration of an old movie I saw was of Muthu from a Japan only released Blu ray disk and was greatly impressed by the visual and audio quality of that release. I never thought the Cinema cameras of those time can capture so much as we were mostly exposed to the dummy VCD clarity, 480p clarity of DVDs and SUN Network upscaled clarity. It is indeed a treat to the eyes watching them in a Full HD 40" TV.

Next Baasha was also restored and the clarity was good but not close to Muthu (Japan made, so I can understand) but after that hardly much movies are restored.

Recently I saw Sathya Movies restoring Thangamagan and Moondru Mugam and the picture quality just gives a different dimension to those movies. Why are most producers who are not void still not ready to restore those old classics and re-release it.

In Telugu, Suresh Productions are the only ones who are restoring their old movies to Full HD and just giving it out for free in YT.

Why are we not getting more restored movies like Bollywood where even the Home video distributors like Ultra, Shemaroo etc give fantastic video quality of movies where in Ap International or Pyramid Movies YT channels has sub par quality of their movies. Can someone explain this logic.

Is there anywhere we can watch this remastered version of Muthu and Baashha? Prime, YouTube, etc?

Basha is available on 6 platforms: JustWatch

Don't know if it is remastered.

Yes, I missed Raajkamal International.

I would love to see Aboorva Sagodharargal and other classics of Kamal sir in Full HD. The person responsible should think about restoring these evergreen classics and releasing for the general public.

I used to wonder if Sun Tv is the one remastering it. It could be for the movies they have the complete rights for.
