&amp;#039;&amp;#039;A Throw of Dice&amp;#039;&amp;#039; has been in the [[British Film Institute]] (BFI)&amp;#039;s archives since 1945, though rarely seen. In 2006, in honour of the 60th anniversary of Indian independence,&amp;lt;ref name=gur&amp;gt;[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2007/aug/24/drama.worldcinema1 A Throw of Dice] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Guardian]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the film was digitally restored,&amp;lt;ref name=chn&amp;gt;[http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=162722 Review] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Channel 4]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; then re-released at the [[Luminato Festival]] in [[Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]], [[Canada]], on 13 June 2008, with a new orchestral score by British Indian composer [[Nitin Sawhney]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.luminato.com/festival/eng/media_gallery_details.php?id=76|title=Luminato:Festival of Arts + Creativity 2008|access-date=30 July 2008|date=13 July 2008|publisher=Luminato.com|work=Luminato.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{YouTube|_91u-Z_h62Q|Excerpts &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Nitin Sawhney&amp;#039;&amp;#039; montage}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The United States release occurred on 30 July 2008 during the [[Grant Park Music Festival]] at the [[Jay Pritzker Pavilion]] in [[Chicago, Illinois]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/travel/27DATEBOOK.html?|title=Datebook: Chicago, San Francisco and Singapore|access-date=30 July 2008|date=27 July 2008|work=[[The New York Times]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nitin Sawhney]], composer of the new 2006 score, describes the film as &amp;quot;A cross between [[Charlie Chaplin|Chaplin]], [[Cecil B. DeMille]] and an early [[Bollywood]] movie.&amp;quot; On many occasions, it has been compared to a Cecil B. DeMille film for its levels of extravagance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nishat Khan]] composed a new orchestral score, which premiered on 25 April 2013, as part of the 100 Years of Indian Film festival, at [[Siri Fort Auditorium]] in New Delhi, with the composer playing sitar and singing, accompanied by the Bollywood Orchestra.&lt;br /&gt;
