Sharmila Tagore, Simi Garewal attend Cannes screening of Satyajit Ray's 'Aranyer Din Ratri'

VETERAN actors Sharmila Tagore and Simi Garewal relived their memories of working on Satyajit Ray's 1970 classic "Aranyer Din Ratri", now immortalised through a 4K restoration that was screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

The 4K restored version of the Bengali-language film, based on author Sunil Gangopadhyay's novel of the same name, was showcased at the 78th edition of the prestigious gala under the Cannes Classics section on Monday evening.

Tagore made an appearance on the red carpet in a classy teal and gold saree along with her daughter and jewellery designer Saba Pataudi, who opted for an all-yellow ethnic ensemble.

Pataudi shared multiple photos from her Cannes on Instagram and wrote, "Let the party begin....! Moments before the Red carpet ...scene... #Cannes #2025."

Garewal was dressed in a gown by Indian couture label Karleo in her signature white colour. She later shared photos from the red carpet on her Instagram Stories.

They were joined on the red carpet by the film's gala presenter and Hollywood filmmaker Wes Anderson, a long-time admirer of Ray who spearheaded its six-year restoration.
