I think I may have an older release of this film by Eros. Mine is exactly the same as DVD of which the screen shots are posted by Hero, with the only difference being that my copy has only English subtitles. My DVD cover only says Eros, B4U is not mentioned anywhere, and the cover also says the runtime is 158 minutes, with the actual film being just 145 minutes. The cover also says FOR SALE IN INDIA ONLY; haha, I've never been there.

yes the dvd is missing a part right before the song Main Inpe Marta Hoon.
I checked this and it's indeed true. Can anyone describe what happens exactly in the scene right before the song? How many minutes are missing approximately?
I found an old VHS where I had copied some segments, from Sony-Orson orig VHS.
1977 CC shows 4734 meters which is 172.5 min.Sona Re song ends at 73:00 (EROS DVD) and Asha's friend gets back in the car. After that scene, only 3:40 min is in DVD where as it's 20 min in my VHS and my VHS too had chase sequence somewhat cut. My guess will be 18 min is cut here. It's around 76:40 in EROS DVD, where Shammi Kapoor and Helen finish arguing, the DVD jumps to (still @ 76:40 min) Main Inpe Marta Hoon song, abruptly. Comparing VHS & DVD, missing segments in DVD are (between 73-77 min EROS DVD marker):
1) Shammi-Asha pretend to be sick and don't join the rest of the Hockey team. Some heart to heart talk between Shammi Kapoor & Asha Parekh. Girl Hockey team catches them in the park and Shammi Kapoor ends up taking the full team to what he had boasted before that it was his uncle's mansion. As he is treating his guests, the owner, Prem Nath, arrives but he plays along in the game. Shammi Kapoor is very grateful and both become friends. Also shown is a mysterious woman interacting with Prem Nath. (This was a hell of an interesting segment, comic, suspense, mystery and more importantly, important story segment)
2) Some spying maneuvers that may or may not be in DVD.
3) Asha Parekh finds her dad in her hotel room (and Prem Chopra family too). They move to their own vacation bungalow there. Asha tells Prem Chopra point blank that she will not marry him as he was supposed to marry her sister and that she can't even think of taking her sister's place. Later she tells her dad that there are better matches around. He quizes, like who ??, she promises that she will introduce him ASAP but she has to go, for now (to meet Shammi Kapoor, of course, & dad could guess). In the park, Shammi Kapoor taps a girl who looked like Asha. That girl screams & calls her friends (a group of Sardaar Jees) and they find "Asha arguing/ fighting with Shammi Kapoor"/ "Shammi Kapoor flirting with Asha", and the chase begins (Shammi trying to catch Asha and the Sardaar Jees crowd trying to corner Shammi Kapoor), eventually Asha Parekh entering a midway fair. Asha catches big wheel ride, Shammi Kapoor misses and is caught by the Sardaar Jees. That is where Shammi Kapoor pleads his case in that song. (I think, I did not record the full chase and hence this segment must have been 6-7 min instead of 4 min that I recorded).
------------------------
- Both, DVD and my VHS, are 4% speed up.
- EROS DVD = 145 min
- Segment mentioned above that I have in VHS & is missing in DVD = 18 min
- Misc: A few sec here and there accounted for a little over 1 min missing in DVD as compared to VHS until 76 min marker, so can expect another 1-2 min in the later half, total = 2-3 min
-
Total = 165-166 min video which is 171.5 - 172.5 min film time. (Compare with Film CC 172.5 min).
