One of the most prestigious Global projects that were executed by Ultra recently was ME REN YU (THE MERMAID) that is a Science fiction & fantasy comedy movie. The in-house talented professionals of the studio used a specialized wire removal & body removal software to give the film the desired effect. There were a total of 50 Roto & paint artists who diligently worked on it for 3 months. As a large part of the film is under water, there have been many complex water shots in high-speed movements; hence the Postproduction artists and the supervisors had a major difficulty in sustaining continuity and consistency in the entire film. At the end, the entire project was meticulously executed under the careful supervision of the experienced in-house artists in Roto, Paint & Nuke Pipeline departments.

Ultra has successfully executed many International projects with its studio services. ?A Quite day at the end of the war? and ?Keshei? are the two international movies that were restored and colorized in the recent past. It was a tedious process wherein frame-by-frame manual restoration was done, various errors like scratches, pinhole, vertical lines, dropouts, etc. were removed. Both the movies were based on war & had many characters in a single frame. Hence, multiple masking had to be used which was a humongous task to execute..

Arthur and Vampire Dog are the two other international movies that underwent Stereoscopic 3D conversion at Ultra Digital Studios.
In India, Ultra has successfully restored many Indian films. One of them is ?Pyaasa?, a timeless Indian cult classic of 1957 starring Guru Dutt, The in-house talented professionals used a specialized film content mending and defect removal mechanism for its repair process.

Venice Classics Award? for the best restored film at the 72nd Venice Film Festival.
Other than that, two other popular films ?Damini? starring Rishi Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadri and Sunny Deol and Aitbaar starring Raj Babbar, Dimple Kapadia were restored by Ultra.
