I ordered the Aathavan Blu-ray from Ayngaran 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received the Blu-ray. It is taking them a lot more longer than usual. I wonder what is going on?..


It took me close to a month to get the Blu-Ray from UK to US. You should call them to get the tracking number form them. Thats what I do everytime I order.


I got both the Aathavan and the Unnai Pol Oruvan Blu-rays today. Unfortunately, I am pretty busy today. Will probably watch them tomorrow and will let you guys know what I think. In the meanwhile, if anyone else has watched either of the Blu-rays, feel free to chime in with your comments!

I just watched both 'Aathavan' and 'Unnnai Pol Oruvan'. I had in fact ordered the 'Unai Pol Oruvan' Blu-ray and was concerned when I saw the 'Eenadu' Blu-ray in my mailbox. Thankfully, the Blu-ray has both the Tamil and Telugu versions on the same disc (Kamal Hassan with Mohan Lal and Kamal Hassan with Venkatesh respectively). The default soundtrack for both versions was DTS-HD MA 5.1 on my Blu-ray. There is a Tamil LPCM 5.1 soundtrack also. The Blu-ray cover is "Unnai Pol Oruvan" on one side and "Eenadu" on the reverse. So, depending on what language you wanna watch primarily, you can switch your cover accordingly. After that confusion was cleared up, I actually got around to watching the movie. Had very high expectations for the movie as it was shot using the Red One camera and the transfer onto a Blu-ray should mirror the digital source flawlessly, in theory. In practice though, I feel that some of the visual detail has been lost (maybe as a compromise in trying to fit 2 movies into one Blu-ray or maybe that is the level of detail on the source itself?). It just didn't have that 'Wow' factor for me. I could be mistaken here, but that's just my impression. Don't get me wrong though - it is still a fine presentation, just wondering if it could've been better. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack does its job as expected.

"Aathavan" is another staple release from Ayngaran, holding up well in both the Audio and Video departments. The video is really up there with other previous definitive ayngaran releases and can certainly give the other Blu-rays a run for their money (barring 'Sivaji' of course, which still remains numero uno). I thought that the amount of discernable detail visible on this Blu-ray was much better than that on 'Unnai Pol Oruvan'. The soundtrack doesn't disappoint either, scoring very highly with both the DTS-HD MA 5.1 and LPCM 5.1 versions onboard (again, I thought that my subwoofers got more of a workout with this Blu-ray than with 'Unnai Pol Oruvan', but then that could also reflect the different natures of the 2 soundtracks in question). Guys, do pitch in with your comments and impressions on the same..
