the sound for this DVD is actually pretty good. There were some clever uses of directional effects while the action scenes (featuring gunshots) came off ok. The bass was present in most times and really came alive during the Khallas song. However there was one scene which had excessive bass (where the subwoofer became REALLY REALLY LOUD and there was no dialogue or music score in the background). I don't know if this was meant to be there as it didn't happen at Woodside Cinemas (but then again, this cinema doesn't even have subwoofers).
The video came off ok, but it was way too dark and some scenes looked soft, while others looked really detailed and glossy, and there were even scenes which were excessively grainy.
There are some extras in this DVD but they are encoded in 1 channel MPG sound, so I couldn't hear any voices. Ali once told me how to change the settings on my DVD player, but this trick doesn't work either. Anyway, the extras are a 22minute long interviews with the entire cast, Ram Gopal Verma, and Boney Kapoor. There were 4 extra songs - 1 was the Ganda Hai picturized on Sandeep Chowta, another was Ganda Hai picturized on Rajpal Yaadav (which made me LOL as I've never seen him this serious and so sad before). Another song was picturized on Antara Malli and Vivek Oberoi (not the Altaf Raja song), and finally Khallas was included in this feature aswell.
Three trailers play before the main feature (I actually like this idea because it feels like you're at the theatres), but again they were encoded in MPG1 so I couldn't hear the voices. These skippable trailers were from Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Hum Aapke Hain Sanam, and Devdas (confirming that Devdas is an Eros release).
The movie is subtitled (which are 16x9 friendly), but the song is not subtitled.
Hey Darius...a movie trailor being shown on the DVD, doesnt necessarily mean that it will be an EROS release ? Has it been confirmed by SLB that it will be an EROS release ?...
Why cant that guy put his foot down like AG (Lagaan) and get it released by someone else ?
I sincerely hope Darius that you are wrong
