Guys, grab the exclusive packings of Darr and Lamhe released just now in India by YRF!!!

Damn neat jewel cases with cardboard slip covers outside.... exclusive to India

...Do you...do you like get commission from Yash Raj Films, or something? I was under the impression that YRF's release of Darr is inferior, in all ways, to DEI's.

: I think he meant the packaging, and not the contents?

i just meant the packing... dei is not available in india anyways... so it's nice to get at least a better packing than the yrf release abroad... u just have to read my thread on refugee yrf to see how much yrf pays me lol ... i ran them down totally...

Oh...thank god. I agree that YRF tends to go a good job with the packaging; I guess they're the poster-children for "don't judge a book by its cover" (I'd honor Eros with the title, but, well, their covers aren't exactly all the pretty [most of the time], either).

i was under the impression that the YRF version is anamorphic?

YRF DARR is anarmorphic and has a wider aspect ratio than DEI.
DEI has better sound but seems like it has been slowed down like all their other titles. I guess this is because of its progressive frame nature.

DEI looks as though it has been enhanced from a video source.

Darr comparison;

Progressive frames or 24 fps is original film speed. Film to PAL, if done properly, is 4% faster. So, you can call DEI one 4% slower than YRF "Film to PAL to NTSC field averaged" or you can call YRF "Film to PAL to NTSC field averaged" 4% faster than DEI one.

You can't say, "DEI --- seems like it has been slowed down like all their other titles" as they are the original speed and could not have been slowed down.

New deep, could you scan the cases and cover boxes, and post it on zulm, so we can see just how different they are....

Rana, I am not too technical as you, but i find the voices very deep on DEI old titles on NTSC. I didn't like Hera Pheri (old) on DEI as the colours were dull and grey, voices were too slow compared to the PAL VCD I had. Isn't film to PAL a more accurate speed?

Both are cardboard slip cases containing really nice jewel cases (inside which are the DVDs) and nice artwork.

Lamhe and Darr previous U.K./U.S. releases can also be seen at the same site for comparison.

And yes, YRF Darr being non-cropped is the better choice (over DEI). Irrespective of how good or bad the PQ or audio is, if the picture is cropped, all the good quality is not really worth it. I'd rather watch a grainy noisy uncropped DVD than a high quality cropped DVD.

I liked Darr cover art!



and I agree, an orig WS AR anamorphic enhanced does make a lot of difference to me too, simply the film starts looking fabulous!! look at French Bhoot and Sholay!
