Blu-ray REVIEW -- > BD Review: Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (Shemaroo)|Screenshots

I have done the same adjustments with this one. The blue channel is too high again in the image screenshots. I adjusted the blue channel to show what it should look like (It is a random adjustment of 10 points but you will get an idea. Other adjustments are required as well.

With the movies from Shemarro's stable, it can be safe to say that they have the color issue somewhere in the processing chain. They need to fix it or we will get the same issue in all titles released by them.

One thing that can be said of 'Shemaroo' is that they are very consistent in their blu-rays. This too has the same very issues that 'Ishqiya' and 'Badmaash Company' had. With low color temperatures the picture has a bluish tint and thus is rendered cold and lifeless. Your adjustments add much needed warmth and life to the picture and this is how it should have been to begin with. Based on the screenshots, there seems to be a hint of DNR also, but it is certainly not anywhere as bad as all the other recent blu-rays from BIG Home Video, T-Series and Moser Baer.

Not to belittle the picture problems, personally I think this blu-ray along with the blu-ray of Ishqiya, has a much bigger problem, that of logo 'watermarks'. Shemaroo's use of watermarks on these blu-rays is a direct afront and challenge to us consumers. There is a very real and grave threat here, that unless consumers outrightly reject these blu-rays, we will be inundated with more of the same from not only Shemaroo, but also the other video companies might be tempted to do the same.

I for one, will not buy these blu-rays and would also appeal to everyone else, to also please boycott both Shemaroo blu-rays. Buying these blu-rays will send a very wrong message to Shemaroo and it will be like us rewarding them for sticking it to us.

Quite apropriately stated by someone, 'SHAME-aroo'!!
