Four classic films Mr. & Mrs. 55, Pyaasa, Aradhana, and Kati Patang will be screened in a Mumbai theatre for a special day-long film festival titled Jubilee Day.
To celebrate the upcoming series Jubilee, the streaming giant Prime Video and series' creator and director Vikramaditya Motwane announced a special initiative called Jubilee Day in which four classic films from the golden era of the Hindi film industry 1950s-1970s will be screened on the big screen at a Mumbai theatre absolutely free of cost.
These four films include Guru Dutt and Madhubala-starrer Mr. & Mrs. 55 (1955), Guru Dutt, Mala Sinha, and Waheeda Rehmn's Pyaasa (1957), Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna's Aradhana (1969), and Asha Parekh and Rajesh Khanna-starrer Kati Patang (1971).

Vikramaditya Motwane, who has previously directed critically acclaimed films such as Udaan and Lootera said in a statement, "I have grown up watching and admiring timeless and classic films. Even before I became a filmmaker, movies have always played a pivotal part in my life. I have always wanted the audience to have a glimpse of the charming world of the yesteryears of the Hindi film industry, which I have done through the series and I felt ‘Jubilee Day’ was a wonderful idea to strengthen that effort to pay our humble tribute to this magical industry where we work."
"We are thankful to Mr. Sushilkumar Agrawal of Ultra Media & Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Mr. Ashim Samanta for supporting this initiative and helping us bring these milestone films from the history of Indian cinema to audiences. I am hoping for audiences to take back some of the old-world charm of movies with this day-long festival', the filmmaker concluded.
