Colourisation

The black and white Oriya film Jajabara was converted to colour. With his team of digital artist, Tilak Ray[6][7] and 18 roto artists, Bapu Lenka[8][9] has made an exceptional effort to revive and preserve the loved movie, making it the first black and white regional film of the country to have been colourised. Never would have been possible without the effort of 21 technocrats and 736 days of time to rework the film. Tilak Ray, the Director of Digital Painting along with his associated roto-artists colourised 2,19,000 frames of the black and white movie.[10]
