my bro emailed shemaroo, they replied back it will be released in a few wks.
Plus, this was cut, all the action was edited out... but there are 2 scenes which i have never seen before. And the sad version of jidhar dekhoon is missing.

This is what shemaroo said when I sent them an email, regarding the release date and the print, it likely jidhar dekhoo(sad version) would be missing even though some extras should be on there (which are not on the vhs we have ).

Dear Customer,

Thank you for writing to us.

The release date of ‘Mahaan’ has not yet been finalized. It should be out in the next couple of weeks.

The movie that we print on the DVDs and VCDs is provided to us by the producer. Therefore, sometimes, a scene may be deleted from the movie, whereas other times there might be bonus songs / deleted scenes included in the DVD and VCD.

For further queries and suggestions please write to us at customerservice@shemaroo.com

Regards,

Shemaroo Online Customer Service

this means this is the Indian version which is currently available on cheap DVDs and VCDs already.

The esquire VHS released for UK/Hong Kong has the sad version of 'jidhar dekhoon' and also had edited out 2 scenes of Amitabh's Guru character - comedy scenes, which are on the sony max broadcast looking at the screenshots:







so with a missing song, edited violence...its still not the full thing then.

The editied violence is cause it was on during the day, however I would assume the DVD will not have the violence edited.

What Max should have done was put it on after the water shed atleast that way it would have been a television premiere that was complete, well almost....

I remember when AAN was playing during the day it chopped all the way

but when it was showing about 8ish it was the full version

uploaded on bwtorrents now!

HAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAAHHA....You Are Funny

thanks faddy! do u have a server, ftp

i do but not one with 4 gig capacity.. if someone can give me some space to upload too id rather do that than do it via bwtorrents..

I'll ! I am grateful. Is it in TV section?

My recording was messed up so I need this repeated, therefore if anyone else missed it and wants to record it as well:

thanks faddy for releasing this dvd-r on bwt.

with a quick scan of the recording i noticed the following scenes cut:

-edited 'Har chori rani yahan' song beginning, middle & end.(its a very long song)
-great long car chase by Shankar (moustached AB) is cut right down!
-edited Canoe climax scene where Shankar does a 360degree turn underwater to dodge bullets!
(silly, but unforgettable!)
-of course the sad 'Jidhar Dekhoon' song in ABs own voice is cut out

there may be more minor cuts, but i dont think all will be restored on Shemaroo, as its a different cut of the film e.g Shaan, Sholay, Jaanbaaz, Tezaab etc had different versions released.

Those nasty tacky adverts that are plastered all over the screen ruined the picture!!!

Anyone else agrees?

Yep! Jab We Met & Lagaan ads were there every 20 mins or so.

I'll be calling OFCOM about this.
It is against UK Broadcast law to do this in the UK.
