1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Buy, February 1, 2012

This review is from: Shaan (DVD)

Though the film, in typical Bollywood style, is a rip-off of some James Bond movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it when it came out over 30 years ago, and even watched it multiple times on VHS. Of course, the main attraction for me was Amitabh Bachchan.

However, EROS entertainment has totally chopped up this movie in the DVD, that you would be better off not getting it. They've deleted and cut out 12 scenes from the movie, not to mention the first refrain from the "Janu Meri Jaan" song.

Though they added a deleted scene from the video and one song, it doesn't make up for how they horribly cut out so many funny moments from the film. Even toward the end, during the action, while our heroes and heroines are trying to escape, EROS even cut out scenes of THAT.

It's so disappointing because all of the other movies that EROS puts out, have the complete movie. I just don't know why Shaan got the equivalent of a movie appearing on network television, with scenes cut out to make room for commercials.

That said, I really love this movie, but customers are better off buying this on VHS or if they can find another distributer that sells it. Avoid the EROS version like the PLAGUE.
