The Two Versions of “Hawayein”
December 17, 2003 | Comments Off on The Two Versions of “Hawayein”
“Hawayein” was recently released, and it looks like there are at least two versions going around in the US on DVD. The 3 hour version (by Megstar) has an hour on Sarabjit (Ammtoje Mann) becoming a farmer in Punjab, and later experiencing police harassment. There’s even a scene where the police, after detaining Mann, take him out in their jeep and plan to construct a “fake encounter.”
None of this appears in a version released by an Edison company and currently available in some Indian rental stores. It skips the hour on crimes committed by the Punjab police.
The Megastar version also features clips of survivors of the 1984 pogroms against Sikhs.
