Ali

I have not seen it, but going by eros recent master pieces, I'll rate it 1.5. because I have seen worse!

do u think this will be the recently chopped off version that had words like "sardar" in it or will it be the original version that has the "sardar" scene? i think it might be the original version since the censor board issued it 2-3 days ago.

just like me. lol. going by eros track record, all are -5 if Ali would've been so kind to post negative values. they should pay us to watch their crap!

Three screen shots from the Xvid rip by BrG;







Ali

I've given it 3 based on those screen shots.

Ali

You can see fine facial hair just right of the earings. So, definitely no "field averaging" here.

PQ rating:
Assuming it to be Pseudo-Prog and not totally "Progressive" I give it a 3. (Minimum 4 if it's Progressive)

I doubt it rana!! but i am ready to be wrong than right!
ali is consistent his bad rating use to be 6/10, now 3/5

??

I see AR of about 2.5:1 (or may be even 2.6:1).

Cropped from Sides or from Top and/ or Bottom??
As someone clarified on zulm before, cropping is cutting of pic from sides and cutting from top and bottom is over-matting??

Few more shots from the same rip;







Specs according to BrG NFO;

Res: 640x272, 2.35:1 AR
Framerate: 29.971
Video bit rate of Xvid: 1295 kb/s
Running time: 02:20:39

Ali

These shots are from the DVD (I think, you can never tell when nicking from other sites ) - anyhow the AR still 2.35:1







Ali

Why so much difference in PQ between Rip and EROS??

Is it that rip is from the original telecine (PAL) and EROS one is it's conversion to NTSC and nth copy??

Also, Ali, could you please change the poll title to reflect the fact that most of us gave the relatively high PQ rating, looking at the rip shots and not the actual DVD.
