According to DEI website the newly Raaz DVD is 'Mono/1.33 Aspect Ratio' - first semi blockbuster of this year :rolleyes:

Ali

well! tips have made progress down from standard and 5.1 YAADEIN!

oh no! i saw the dvd of raaz yesterday in video shop. didnt see the cover but the geezer has the songs playing on the tv, it was more close 1.85 and he did say it had 5.1 sound although you cant tell from 14" tv speakers!! :0 if the official dvd is full screen mono then im going and getting the this pirate from the video shop, tips and rest and go to hell!

I've rented the dvd to see the movie. I'll tell you later on tonight exactly how it looks.

IS THE RAAZ DVD MORE OR LESS TO THE SAME STANDARD AS THE ALBELA DVD!!!!

Contrary to what DEI web says :rolleyes: - Raaz DVD is in it’s full aspect ratio of 2.25:1, non-anamorphic video - authored by Media Dimensions. Sound unknown as yet – maybe when Arsh has seen he’ll comment. Subtitle are unfriendly 16x9 and show typically botch authoring job.

Check the screen shots – with a massive thanks to Arsh for providing these.

Well! ali, thanks! here I am with RAAZ audio VERDICT!!TRUE 5.1, very well done, spacious, good use of surrounds, esp for background HAUNTEDNESS!! GOOD SOUND for this kinda film, LF very EFFECTIVE TOO!!OVERLL..sounds clean spacious and DYNAMIC!
VIDEO, non anamorphic WIDESCREEN as ALI previously described! ENJOY the GOOD FLICK with NOT so GOOD PICTURE but VERY GOOD SOUND!

Was browsing through the BBFC site when came across Raaz entry for video release - says by Sovereign Sirocco Limited who distributed the film in the UK. Could possibly see a different DVD release, although more likely it'll be just a re-packaged Tips DVD ???

Ali

Doubt it'll be a new DVD - Sovereign Sirocco is the UK distributors for all Tips stuff, as far as I know.

While searching for Raaz MP3 with morpehus I found to my amazment a full VOB file of the pirate version. I downloaded only five mins of it to my partial file then played it. It was not bad. Shame the film looks crap (well it is copied from its equally horrible counterpart What Lies Beneath). Why doesn't bollywood copy from films like Geroge Washington? Rushmore? Or even Memento?

I have been informed that Malaylam cinema has its own version of Vanilla Sky coming soon, while Telugu is remaking the excellent Payback. Remakes should come from good movies. But I might be wrong as Raaz has been decleared a hit.

Also is it me or does the picture from the orignal raaz DVD looked slightly squashed? :p

George Washington is the antithesis of Bollywood films. There's not much excitement in it and it is somewhat slow. I found it rather dull, though it was beautifully shot.

Remakes of Memento and Rushmore would be awesome.
