Shemaroo Version DVD
Just had a look at this dvd, for 5 bucks, pictures quality are good
sound ok, great movie
I have seen Sholay, and I think the dance that Helen did was fantastic,
but having seen Talash now, I think this dance by Helen was even better,
Vintage Helen.

Shemaroo Talaash (O P Ralhan) DVD is 177 min 13 sec (184.5 min film time).

Did not realize, this DVD is a 3 hour video.

1979 film CC shows it to be 5290 meters (193 min). For a 1969 film, can consider it to be full version despite 8.5 min discrepancy. I don't think it was released as a 193 min film back in 1969 as it was 4 shows daily release (recall, they also had to show a mandatory 15-20 min documentary in those days).

At this website, it's 186 min. (Film CC 1979). It's 25 fps implying a 4% speed-up. Then this must be the full version 193-194 min.

This version is not sped-up. It runs at film speed, despite being at 25fps.

This throws in another monkey wrench in trying to figure-out whether 25fps youtube clips are 4% speedup or not. I did notice this in another video clip where the source is 24 fps Progressive DVD but the youtube is coded as 25 fps and the frame advance clearly advances every 2, every 3 clicks (24 to 60 conversion). Can't think how they accomplish 25 fps with that and no speed shift ??
