similar thing was done with another classic - Agneepath (1990), though at minor level, but robbed one of the iconic scenes (climax scene) from the magnificent original score
Bobby Sing
Yes, Its indeed sad Ashish the way the original films are not being seen by the present generation as they were originally released.

Hi James,

Agree with the article Bobby. As I started collecting whatever version I can get at early stage (before 2014), I fortunately own Pen Video 16:9 Sensored stereo version, B4U/Eros 4:3 Directors Cut and the newer 3D dolby sound version of the film at same time. I love the 4:3 Directors Cut version most as it's runtime is 204 mins with original ending where Gabbar gets killed by Thakur.
Bobby Sing
All those original versions have now become even more precious for we all.

Absolutely and very well put up Bobby Singh. I can't bear to watch the opening scene with the train moving in with a fake sound of the engine.. to hear the original sound of the steam-engine was itself a reason enough for me to hold on to the movie ..bul alas.they have killed. Now I only listen to the original soundtrack on the gaana app with dialogues . It does give some solace but still I would like to see the movie again with the original sound score..any number of times ..
Bobby Sing
Thanks a lot for agreeing to the thought and feeling the same Vijay.

Hi Bobby, So heartening and comforting to know that I am not the only one suffering from this anguish. I pride myself in digging the original audio of any song - however old - in this marsh of digital world of tampered songs and music everywhere, but I was defeated here ... in the case of Sholay! It appears they have systematically and deliberately removed the original audio to the last trace from everywhere ... and that is very frightening to see!! However, I had a DVD years back which I am frantically searching in my home since a few days. That is the last hope. Please let me know if I find it, how to share it with all the starving original-lovers like us. Thanks for the article. It was comforting to share the pain. Kapil

Hi Kapil,

Brother, I recently bought this movie from Apple Store and realized that what a blunder they have done...I can truly understand your every word what you have written...the worst part, I had the original DVD and I have given to someone with some of old collections thinking that everything will be available online with much better clarity and print....and this was my worst mistake..now I am searching the DVD and could not find it anywhere....these guys spoiled all the fun of it... |
