Hi,

India weekly has it for $6.99 however it is the Eros version. Goodluck mate!

Actually forgot to mention, if you want the DEI version, try e-mailing or calling the customer number. That's what I did for HDDCS and Fiza. I ordered the DVDs and then did a reply e-mail to the confirmation they sent and asked for the version I wanted and I got the order correctly. Hope this is helpful.

He wants the extended version, which was the 1990 directors cut. That would be the Eros/B4U version, not the Eros/DEI one. I own both because I want both endings.

Woops,
Sorry Stormy. That's the last time I'll read a post while working.

What's the running time for Sholay (directors cut)

204 mins on the directors cut DVD from Eros/B4U compared to 198mins on the DEI/Eros one. Rana listed the differences here (may contain spoilers);

So which version do most peeps prefer? considering getting but not sure which is better?

I want to get the director's cut from Eros/b4u but I read the review saying that the sound is mono...If anyone who has this dvd could comment more on it??

So Prancer, If I order the DVDs from IW and then email them to make sure they are DEI.

They have some DVDs on sale but it just says Eros. I want to buy them but I want the Eros / DEI and not the Eros / B4U

Hi baap,

Yes, just do a reply to their confirmation e-mail and tell them specify which version you want.

I usually e-mail their customer service first and ask, just to be sure because I am anal and I don't want a crappy version, because I have too many of those, sorry had to express.

It takes a couple of days sometimes but they do reply. The last dvd I inquire about was "Ram aur Shyam" and they said they do have DEI version. They mentioned to just click on the DEI version when placing order. I guess I must have missed this when I placed the order before because that's new to me.

Hope this helps!

The DEI one is mono. I think the Eros/B4U one has a pseudo 5.1 mix. Get both if you are a big Sholay fan, because there are differences.

I have bought the one from IW. It's a Eros/DEI one and it does have pseudo 5.1 mix but it is not the expanded version otherwise it is a pretty decent DVD.

anybody having questions about SHOLAY dvds
please go to the main page of zulm.net and look at the sholay dvd poster right above the HDDCS dvd pictures, and click there where ever you want to
and also
go to sunny audits' site and he has both reviewed on there
so any questions you have would be satisfactorily answered by visiting both sites
atleast my questions got answered
well, i love the movie, and as soon as i found out that the dvd versions have slightly different movie, i just wanted both so i have both version
over all i like the DEI dvd
