Chhoti Si Baat (Yash Raj Films)

Someone please add some screenshots to this thread.

1.33:1 Original Aspect Ratio
5.1 fake mono (448kbps)
English subtitles
Theatrical trailer
Mastered by Super Digital
Approx. 120 minutes

Video
-----
Once again, Super Digital and Yash Raj make a poor DVD. The image is heavily DNR'ed, blurring everything whenever the camera moves or someone in the frame moves. Thus, sharpness and detail are poor. Barring a few shots inside a movie theater, there are no dark scenes in the film, so rendition of such scenes is not an issue. Digital artifacting isn't too bad given the film's short length. Edge enhancement is mild and never intrusive, and colos are good. Unfortunately, the wild '70s shirt patterns cause a lot of moire artifacting. A mediocre, unsatisfying transfer.

Audio
-----
The original mono has been made into a fake 5.1 track. There is some popping and hissing, the high end sounds somewhat strained, and there is no bottom end, but dialogue and music are always clear.

Overall
-------
This wonderful film deserves a better DVD than this.
