It was the first Bollyood movie to be released in 70mm and sterephonic audio. Why the hell are the DVDs of this movie so pathetic?

Is there a better quality VHS available?

Thank you! That is very informative. My friend owns the Shemaroo VCD which I borrowed, but the quality put me off. Film seems really interesting. Only if some buffoon realizes the value and gives it a Criterion standard restoration. I can only imagine how breathtaking the cinematography would look. And of course, multi channel audio would be an amazing treat.
Mr. Rana, is the Esquire VHS by any chance a wide-screen transfer?

Thank you!

I have seen this movie when aired on Doordarshan eons ago. Its a terrible story. Needless to say the cinematography, sound et al was lost on me at that age. There is a track from the movie that still haunts me (Shankar-Jaikishen were the music director duo). It was sung by Sharada (Shankar's muse etc) and went 'Around the world in eight dollars......' it was a terrible tune, sung by a terrible singer.....sorry i have only bad memories of this flick :-(
