Well thats until I have met the Baherwali !


Wonder where he is pointing his eyes while saying that


Scary Brrrrr !!!!

The term Pan & Scan is inappropriate in this case, since there is no panning or scanning involved in presenting this movie in 4:3 ratio. The reason being quite simple, Jaanwar was shot in 35mm film with non anamorphic lenses and presented in theaters as 4:3, therefore the original aspect ratio of the movie is 4:3 This is common to most movies from and before that period. The more appropriate way to describe the DVD would be, either as 4:3 OAR (original aspect ratio) or as 4:3 Full Frame.


Why do they continue to present mono in 2 channels rather just present it as Dolby 1 channel (MONO)?
