Dev Anand's Hum Dono that was originally released in 1961 was the last black-and-white film from the Navketan Banner. The classic film will have a theatrical re-release in its new colourized version and is now titled as Hum Dono Rangeen.
Hum Dono is still remembered for its evergreen melodious like 'Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya ' and ' Abhi Na Jao Chod Kar'
Legend films has coloured the black and white version of film Hum Dono with the most advanced technology in US. The film has been coloured using 65000 colours while earlier Indian classics like Mughal-e-Azam and Naya Daur had used the colour scheme of 16 and 32 colors respectively.
Regarding the colourized re-release Dev Anand, "It's nostalgic to even think about Hum Dono . I still remember the kind of response we had got when it was released way back in 1961. I am happy that people would be able to relive the experience in a better way and hope the younger generation who has not seen the film would also love it the way film was loved 50 years back. This film is also special because it was the last black and white film of Navketan films. I am waiting for people's reaction to Hum Dono Rangeen and my next directorial film Charge Sheet that will release shortly after Hum Dono Rangeen."
There are plans to convert the coloured version into 3D format for enhanced viewing experience.
