If the rumours about Yash Raj getting the film are true then that's what they should concentrate on....

A three disc set

Disc one = First half of Director's Cut
Disc two = Second half of Director's Cut

Restorted Full Screen & Dolby Digital 2ch Original Track

Disc three = Full length Theatrical 70mm Version

Anamorphic Widescreen 2.20:1, Dolby Digital 2ch Original Track

They should also include a small book about the history of the film, and how it was made with difficulties. I saw in Raj top 100 Indian films some excellent information and notes which should be used within the making of the book

That would please me.

sholay dvd is coming out soon with alot of extras added have spoken to sippy camp and have been told this, which company just wait and see not poss english company

It's not Video Sound is it :angry:

The Original Soundtrack of Sholay was not 2 channels but rather the 70MM version had a 4 channel track.

Was it a 4 or a 6 track stereo track? I've seen different sources say different things on this.

I am trying to find my copy of the original LP (Vinyl) Record of Sholay which if I remember had a banner running accross the cover "70MM - Tracks". I just can't remember exactly how many tracks it was, although it was definately not less than 4 channels but I don't think it was not 6 tracks. I'll confirm once I find the LP.

If you can't find your LP, see if there's a scan on eBay. Hindi LPs show up there from time to time. I usually search under the following:

indian record
indian lp
india record

I just got an e-mail reply from YRF Service Desk :vsneaky:
And according to them, they have no plans of doing the Sholay DVD. I guess rumors will remain rumors!

CHAL JHOOTHA!! yaara!!

70mm comes with 6 tracks (magnetic). It is very unlikely that 4 tracks were used. Although I have yet to watch it the way it was intended. Sholay can be transferred to DD or DTS but the original sound tracks are uncompatible with existing sound formats. This because 6 track magnetic has left, mid left, center, mid right, right and 1 mono surround channel. Of course the information for mid left and mid right can be mixed into center for today's digital formats but you will never be able to hear the original mix again unless you watch it in a 70mm theatre.

I am very unhappy with the situation of Indian dvds so a Sholay dvd rumour better be a rumour.Pathetic, if you ask me actually. The most loved Indian movie is not even worth buying on dvd.

I have a question though if Eros's rights end, can't Eros extend it? I mean why would they allow another dvd company to acquire it?

anyone seen this one?

I know i will have this one in my collection for sure.

LOL! They don't look like AB, Dharmendra, and Sanjeev Kumar at all. With the release of these "duplicate" titles and the Khajuraho titles, WEG's going places! Duplicate Sholay :tounge:

Hey guys,
I'm lookin for pictures, screenshots, wallpapers...literally anything from the movie Sholay thats available. Need clear pics for a project so if u know any web links or u have some, it would be a great help. Thanx

Just been reading Ali’s Sholay DVD Review again. Ali’s dream of a 3 DVD set for Sholay makes interesting reading. I must say that I for one, would love to see this vision become a reality, because if any Indian film deserves something like this, it is Sholay. I have e-mailed Criterion about this but I somehow doubt they will oblige.

I think it has been mentioned in the forums somewhere that the Sholay rights currently held by Eros are due to expire soon. Most of you will think I am crazy for saying this, but I was wondering how feasible would it be for Zulm members to purchase the rights and bring out a high quality triple disc set under the Zulm label? Zulmi’s can contribute however much they can afford and any profits can be spilt according to the percentage that an individual input into the cost of the project.

Is this but a futile dream?
