ALAI PAYUTHEY

DIRECTOR: Mani Rathnam
STARRING: Jayasudha, Madhavan, Shalini and Swarnamalya
MUSIC: A.R. Rahman

RADIOSARGAM.COM DVD RATING:
*****


Even though it being a wonderful movie the film has its flaws. The catchy song `September Matham` seems out of place despite being part of he narrative of how marriage is viewed upon. This and other minor flaws are pardonable as the overall feel of the film will put the audience at the edge of their seat. The film opened to massive box-office takings in South India, UK, USA and Far East.

A step in the right direction for distributors Ayngaran International who are fast becoming one of the best Indian companies in the DVD market. Their reputation for quality is a true factor and this disc proves that. Since this is their first DVD which is anamorphic some problems which this disc has can easily be avoid as they will not cause any concern to any viewer. Hopefully they will improve further and further with their forthcoming DVD`s of Dheena (2001), Thenali (2000) and the biggie Padiayaapa (1999)!

The transfer really does have some problems, particularly in darker scenes. They are a little too dark, like Sunny has said. I also spotted some noise reduction problems, and the picture could have been sharper overall. The sound was fantastic. I would welcome a remaster.

But I still do not believe that 2.66:1 is used in India. It was only used for a few films in America before they started using 2.55:1 and then 2.40:1.
