Rana saheb, what's your Mamta DVD like?? PAL, NTSC, Progressive or interlaced?

I had bought Bollywood Films MAMTA a few Yrs back. Firstly, it's crap and on top of it, it's only 113 min.
Captain Video DVD is 150 min and Russian DVD is 180 min.

No surprises! I've seen the song 'Rehte The Kabhi' on YouTube, which probably was by Bolly Films. Excessive magenta, skips, lagging subtitles. Was your Bollywood films version like that??

Disgusted, I changed to the Moserbaer rip which was comparatively okay!

Is the captain version any good??

Was the Russain DVD in Hindi by any chance? I never bought this movie as I was looking for a good version. I can't handle the garish Captain logo so I ruled that version out but would love to add this movie to my collection.

Oh! Never realized this topic split

Muz, how was your Captain DVD qualitywise??

I don't have it. I just know what their logo is like so avoided it in the hope that we would get another version.

Oh! Then rana saheb can tell us!

I split the topic as the discussions on the Mamta DVD were taking over the Pardesi thread.

That's absolutely perfect!!
I would love someone to provide shots. Natalie, are you around?

Bollywood Films MAMTA DVD is 113 min. (I do have this DVD)

Captain Video MAMTA DVD is 150 min, as reported by other zulmies. (I don't have this DVD)

Russian MAMTA DVD is listed at 180 min. (I don't have this DVD). So far, whatever Russian DVDs I've seen from this Russian DVD site, has no errors in their description of the content. So, have to assume it's really 180 min. It's listed as NTSC. Unfortunately, Russian MAMTA DVD does not say if it has Hindi audio (most likely not) and if it has English sub-titles (Other DVDs do state English sub-t). So, have to assume Russian Mamta has no English Sub-t (I would say less than 1% chance of English sub-t). PQ wise, I'm sure it will be much better than Bollywood Films DVD and Captain Video DVD, as seen in other Russian Bollywood DVDs that I got.
Even if no Hindi Audio, at least the songs stay in Hindi. As you know, songs make up a big chunk of Bollywood Films anyway, so Russian DVD if really 180 min, should be of interest to die hard fans.

BTW, I got interested in Mamta DVD as a friend of mine wanted it. When I found it and lent it to him, he told me it did not have what he was looking for. A complete Children's/ School song that music starts but the song itself is totally cut in Bollywood Films DVDs.
----------------------------------------------

There are a couple of different versions on Youtube, that all appear to be from the same source (at first glance). The run time is 150mins - but there is no Captain watermark on the picture, so not sure whether this is from the Captain DVD, or another source.

Screenshots from the Indiaweekly.com DVD - as expected, shocking picture quality sourced from a VHS, with a run time of 113 mins. Even the start of the credits is not included on the DVD.

Thanks a lot Bhaskar!!!

Can you do me a little favour?

Can you check the song 'Rehte The Kabhi' on your DVD and confirm whether its the same as this video (in terms of the quality and the jerks and tiny skips) :-

Shots from the Captain DVDs I found at desitorrents.com







Still, a disappointment, if you ask me. Better than the Indiaweekly DVD, at least.

And Muz, I don't see any logos in the shots. Can't say whether it's there or not in the rest of the movie.
