i should have this dvd 2morrow according to one of ma suppliers

Saw the dvd and it's pretty good. More towards PIAM quality than the recent eros crap. The 5.1 sound is really dynamic and lively. Picture quality is above avg by eros standards. Has trouble in some dark scenes. Unfriendly 16x9 subtitles. Extras include a making of and some promos. Some forthcoming attractions are also there including a very small teaser of Company (eros do have the rights ). Menus are nice. I think I had a faulty disc though because it froze at a couple of instances. I'm pretty sure it was just my copy but I could be wrong. If it's an authoring problem then it's really bad because there were a lot of jerks. I doubt it's an authoring fault but knowing eros, anything is possible. Will try to post some screenshots tomm.

How come the DVD is already out when it is still playing in the theatres?

EVERY eros film is released on dvd within 3 days of cinema release....no matter what

This is not the case in the UK though - EROS are bastards and make us british folk wait for months before they release the UK version of the DVD [INDIAN FILMS DO HOT BUSSINESS IN THE UK RATHER THAN IN THE US] - THIS WHY I NORMALLY BUY THE US VERSION OF THE DISK - I AINT WAITING MONTHS AND MONTHS FOR A DVD - THAT IS NAE GOOD!!

JOLLY DO U HAVE THIS DVD IN STOCK!!!!

Didn't have much time so got only a couple of shots. You can judge for yourself:


Main Menu


Esha looking on. Too bad the viewer can't see anything behind her.


Motion artefacts cause blurring.


Still shots with adequate lighting are well done.

Overall the picture quality is just average but the 5.1 surround is definitely good.

Had quick glance at this – colours are better than previous DVDs but shadows and dark lit scenes are poor. Again promo show much better video than the feature. Video is soft with aliasing problems throughout – from a poor video source. Fuller review by tomorrow.

DVD has 14 min making of the film and promos.
