The dialog I had in mind, was spoken in another scene. So, it's not missing in the new 250 min version.rana wrote:
250 min of film content (No 4% speed up), that includes some material not seen before in any VHS or any DVD or any youtube.
As I commented, in previous posts, without the Phooka Pahelwaan episode, you deduce that love was one sided, Raju loved Marina but Marina never said 'I Love You'. With that Phooka Pahelwan episode 'IN', here Marina in no uncertain terms says 'I Love You' and there is intense lip-lock.
This intense lip-lock could not have been in the initial Indian release as this could not have passed censors. Even in my Esquire VHS (early 1980s), where this scene is there, the scene cuts as the lips come close. rana wrote:
Even in theatre, in 1970s, I don't remember having seen 'Reechh' (Black Bear) episode in circus, that's in this version. Reechh episode justifies Dara Singh's dialog to Raju, something like, 'Do you know the language of my Shers and Reechhs'.
This Reechh Mascot episode is not in the VHS (runs for 2-3 min in the new 250 min version). I don't recall seeing this scene in the 1970s either. Without this Reechh episode, we tracked 259 min of MNJ where Audio + Video was identified (see p4 of this thread). Add to it the Reechh episode, we can now count it to 262 min. MNJ title song is still not complete in the 250 min version. There could be even more that can be found in one version or other, but it's not worth the effort now as the discrepancy is not much.
