Indian Film Restoration Leader Prasad Revives Charles Burnett’s Landmark My Brother’s Wedding in 4K

Prasad, India’s leading film restoration and post-production facility, has completed the full 4K picture remastering and restoration of My Brother’s Wedding, the landmark film by acclaimed filmmaker Charles Burnett. The restored version will be screened at the Berlin International Film Festival under the Forum section, which celebrates films that push the boundaries of cinematic expression.

Originally released in 1983, the film is a low-budget independent tragicomedy set in South Central Los Angeles. It follows the story of a man caught between family expectations and loyalty to a friend, exploring themes of class tension, community dynamics, and personal responsibility. The film is regarded as an important example of socially grounded American independent cinema and has gained renewed critical appreciation following its later restoration and re-edited.

The restoration marks a significant milestone for Indian film preservation on the global stage. Prasad undertook the complete 4K restoration process, including detailed frame-by-frame image repair, colour correction, and digital mastering—carefully preserving the film’s original visual texture, tone, and cinematic intent, while presenting it with renewed clarity for contemporary audiences.

The project was carried out in collaboration with Milestone Films, the UCLA Film & Television Archive, and Kino Lorber, reflecting the international trust placed in Prasad’s restoration expertise and India’s growing role in global film heritage preservation.

We were overjoyed to be in collaboration with Prasad, Deluxe Audio, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive, and Kino Lorber to bring Charles Burnett’s enduring and timeless film MY BROTHER’S WEDDING back to the world., said, Maya S. Cade, incoming president of Milestone Films.

Abhishek Prasad, Director and CTO, Prasad, added — This restoration was not just about enhancing resolution, it was about preserving cultural memory. Every film carries the spirit of its time, and our responsibility is to ensure that spirit is not lost to ageing reels or obsolete formats. Having this work showcased at Berlin reinforces India’s growing contribution to global film preservation.

IG Defence Secures ₹300 Cr Approval for Advanced Multi-Drone Manufacturing Hub in Odisha’s Ganjam District

• One of the largest private drone manufacturing investments approved in Odisha
• Facility to manufacture tactical, EW-enabled and mission-specific unmanned systems
• Leverages proximity to DRDO labs, HAL, Ordnance Factory and AD Gopalpur test range
• Comes at a time when IG Defence has received orders for 5,000+ FPV kamikaze striker drones from defence forces

IG Defence, one of India’s leading indigenous defence technology companies, has received approval from the Government of Odisha to establish a ₹300 crore advanced multi-drone manufacturing centre in Ganjam district. The project was cleared by the 144th State Level Single Window Clearance Authority (SLSWCA), chaired by Chief Secretary Anu Garg, as part of a broader set of industrial approvals aimed at strengthening the state’s manufacturing and strategic industrial base.

The facility will focus on the manufacturing of advanced unmanned aerial systems and related defence technologies, including high-performance tactical and mission-specific drone platforms. Leveraging Odisha’s established defence ecosystem—including DRDO laboratories, HAL facilities, the Ordnance Factory network, and the AD Gopalpur test range the facility will support the development of indigenous electronic warfare–enabled unmanned systems and other mission-critical defence capabilities. These systems will strengthen India’s safety, security, and national sovereignty, while also being positioned for export to India’s friendly partner nations. The project marks a significant step in expanding domestic aerospace and defence manufacturing capacity in line with national self-reliance objectives.

The approval places IG Defence among the key contributors to Odisha’s growing aerospace and defence manufacturing ecosystem. By establishing operations in the state, the company supports Odisha’s vision for balanced regional industrial development while leveraging emerging infrastructure and strengthening participation in high-technology manufacturing. In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Purvodaya Mission and the Government of Odisha’s vision for a Viksit Odisha, the project is expected to be a transformative addition to the state’s strategic manufacturing landscape.

As an IP-led defence technology company, IG Defence has built a strong reputation for systems designed for real operational environments. Its drone and counter-drone platforms have been validated through field deployments, including during Operation Sindoor, and several patented platforms have already been inducted by the Indian Army and Indian Navy. The company continues to translate in-house research and development into mission-ready solutions supported by a steadily expanding manufacturing footprint across India.

Recently, IG Defence has received orders exceeding 5,000 FPV kamikaze striker drones from multiple defence forces, reflecting growing operational confidence in its combat-proven unmanned systems. These include defence explosive–integrated platforms and kamikaze FPV explosive configurations designed for precision strike and other mission-critical applications, underscoring IG Defence’s evolution into a trusted indigenous supplier of frontline unmanned combat technologies.

The new Odisha facility will further strengthen IG Defence’s national production network and support the scaling of reliable, Made-in-India unmanned systems to meet the evolving operational requirements of India’s armed forces, while enabling compliant exports that support regional security partnerships.

Speaking on the approval, Maj Gen R C Padhi,Senior Vice President, IG Defence “This approval from the Government of Odisha reinforces the trust placed in IG Defence within India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem. The facility is a strategic step towards strengthening indigenous production and ensuring assured, scalable supply of mission-critical systems. It reflects our long-term commitment to building defence infrastructure that supports real operational requirements of the armed forces.”

With the Odisha government approving ₹4,111.80 crore worth of industrial investments in this round, the state continues to strengthen its position as a destination for next-generation manufacturing. IG Defence’s investment adds momentum to Odisha’s aerospace and defence ecosystem and supports India’s broader objective of building a resilient, self-reliant defence manufacturing base under the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
