I don't see any PAL speedup.
Right-click the screen and then go 'Stats For Nerds' and see that it's 25fps. Or download it and check. 25fps may be necessary for Indian television broadcasts and Indian PAL DVDs. It's
not necessary for Indian NTSC DVDs (although the vast majority of Indian classic films on NTSC DVDs run at a 25fps 'base' framerate) or for YouTube.

They have released almost all their 4:3 movies in the original aspect ratio, at least on their DVDs.
Not their more recent releases. I believe, for example, that this song from Chori Chori is cropped this way on the DVD as well and it's

I'm not claiming they'll do this for any rerelease of Pyaasa, only that they have a history of ruining their restored films when released for home media. Maybe they'll actually treat it with some respect. But I doubt it.
