There's a newer version of the film available with a third more video and it's nearly complete. Here:

I highly recommend watching it instead.

English subtitles included.

The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema says this about Harano Sur:

The amnesiac Aloke (Kumar) is rescued from
the asylum by doctor Roma (Sen) who takes
him to her father’s (Sanyal) edenic country
house. They marry, but a second accident,
and a new bout of amnesia, makes him forget
her and recall instead his earlier life as a rich
businessman in Calcutta. When Roma follows
him there, he does not remember her, but he
hires her as governess to his niece, causing
her considerable anguish. Moinak Biswas
characterised the film as a domestic
melodrama of ‘a subordinate woman winning
over her boss’s heart’, in the genre of English
novels such as Richardson’s Pamela (Biswas,
‘The Couple and Their Spaces: Harano Sur as
Melodrama’, 1995). Roma keeps trying to
stimulate the hero’s memory, using e.g. the
refrain of their wedding song (and the film’s
musical hit) Tumi je amar, but is unable to
reply when Aloke, haunted by her presence,
asks ‘Who are you?’. The plot provides a
schematic version of the classic Kumar-Sen
romance with a medical angle (cf. Sagarika,
1956; Deep Jweley Jai, 1959), many lavishly
mounted scenes of windswept expanses,
fluttering curtains, incense and mnemonic
objects such as a bunch of tube-roses,
countered by two abrupt eruptions of realist
outdoor locations (when Aloke first recovers
his memory, and when Roma follows him into
his Calcutta office). The film was adapted
from Mervyn LeRoy’s Random Harvest (1942).

It also says the film is 162 minutes long, so this version is missing a whole lot. One long missing part - probably a whole reel of film (15 minutes or so) - occurs after Uttam and Suchitra marry and she sings a cut off version of the main song (Tumi Je Amar). They begin their married life but then he's in another accident where he forgets everything that occurred after the first accident and goes home to Kolkota to resume his previous life. We pick it up again when he's about to head home. Another missing part occurs after Suchitra follows him to Kolkota, finds him, and goes to his office. There's a break in the plot - probably another whole reel - and then she's been hired as a nanny and encounters him in the middle of the night. And the Hemant Kumar song is also missing. It's disconcerting but the film is haunting, nonetheless.
