Translation included, except for the songs. I wonder what Indian media company doesn't subtitle the songs?

The Encyclopedia Of Indian Cinema says this about Sangram:

A cop father against criminal son crime drama made in the Indian variant of the film noir style launched by Mukherjee’s megahit Kismet (1943). Kunwar (Ashok Kumar) takes to gambling and gets involved in bad company in spite of his father (Nawab) being a policeman. Although Kunwar is reformed by his gentle betrothed (Jaywant), his past catches up with him in the form of his former crooked sidekick. In the end, Kunwar escapes from jail to avenge the betrayal of a man who was supposedly on the right side of the law, and his father faces him with a gun, torn between his responsibilities as a parent and as a cop. An unusually violent crime film for its time with the hero playing the villain.

During a card game at about 30 minutes into the movie the picture began to get worse and worse. At about 31:38 (that's a clickable link) it got so bad - warped and dirty - that I could no longer fix it with the tools available to me. That went on for about a minute and a half until the picture improved enough for me to be able to correct it, and eventually the problem disappeared entirely. During that time the audio wasn't affected. The other versions of the film here on YouTube have the same problem at the same place.
