Authoring issues:
1. The sub-titles are turned on by default. <-- This problem has existed for too long on T-Series blu-rays and they need to address this immediately.
2. Pop-up menus do not close on their own.
3. Pop-up menus do not close even after making a selection.
4. Disc does not have a 'Title' icon.

Review:
Video: Picture has a procesed look due to boosted contrast levels and edge enhancement. The picture also suffers from reddish tint almost throughout. A warmer color temperature would have helped a lot. On the positive side, for once not much signs of DNR due to which film grain is retained. Unfortunately this is marred by excessive edge enhancement.
Audio: The audio quality is decent but not spectacular and the same applies to the sound mix.
Recommended but I suggest a rental first.
