In regard to Rajkumar by Eros, this is one of the worst dvds I have ever had the misfortune to own. Avoid this dvd like a plague. Wait for someone to rerelease this dvd with a cleaner print and a better transfer.

WEG Himalay Ki God Mein is nice print (though it's 25 fps to 30 fps converted field averaged), but the DVDs have been problematic. Some problems are mentioned in this thread earlier, and I have other. My DVD is rotten in 2nd layer, but have no issues with sound. Tried to recover from some other copy (around 2008) but the copied sequence and video segments got all mixed up, and about 4 mins not in the copied video files. (Same chapter # appears more than once, chapters jump/ go-back etc, perhaps intentional anti-copying trick) My orig that plays till 70 min, plus copied disc is watchable but you need to figure out which chapter or which segment to watch next.

Later on, it was also on Shemaroo, but not available now. It's on a few youtube web pages.

Now, some run time queries:

-Film was released in 1965.
-1975 Film CC 4563.38 meters which is 166.3 min film time.
-WEG DVD indicator shows 157 min which is 163 min, so could assume it complete 1975 version, but only if DVD was playable till end. Version I have, when assembled together, is 153 min same as youtube TS version (from Russian DVD).
-Youtube TS watermarked is 153 min which is 159 min film time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE5ETRlB-64&t=7504s
-Shemaroo DVD is essentially the same, just a few frames less here and there. Run time 150 min.
-WEG version is slightly-slightly better PQ than Shemaroo versaion for the movie but youtube has HKGM songs by Shemaroo in 1080P25 - Excellent 28 min songs.

Orig WEG DVD that indicates 157 min, plays till 70 min and comparing minutely, youtube vesion and this first 70 min is exactly the same.

Anyone has playable WEG 157 min version ??

-----------------------------------------------
What could be missing segments between the available 153 min (159 min film time) version, and the 166 min (1975 CC) version:

1) When Mala Sinha brings her father to the city, they go to Manoj Kumar's house first and they tell them to go to the hospital, if they are looking for Doctor/ treatment. This scene is not in DVD, although Mala Sinha tells Manoj Kumar that they went to his home first.
(This kind of scene is in many Bollywood films. I'm not sure, if I saw this sequence in the film in 1965.

2) Mala Sinha & Manoj Kumar start going to a remote village to treat patients. They cross river via cable car and the next scene suddenly jumps to 'Thankyou-gifts' and Vaisakhi celebration. Something is missing here.

Rajkumar (Shammi Kapoor, Sadhna):
Moserbaer version, released later on, is a bit better than EROS. Ultra too has a nice print on youtube. But, the ultimate eye candy print, even for just 3 songs, is the youtube 4K posting of 3 songs (16.5 min). I wish, rest of the movie too is transferred to 4K.
