Authoring issues:
1. Pop-up menus do not close on their own and stay up forever.Atleast they close upon making a selection.
2. There is NO 'Play All' option in the song menu. It is quite shocking that the authoring companies still do not understand the importance of this. Could it be that they are just not competent to get it done.

Review:
Video: Nice clean source. Vibrant colors. Colors are oversaturated with inconsistent hues. Some black crush is evident. Relatively soft picture due to what has now become the bane of bollywood with DNR once again being the cause.
Audio: Deep tight bass. Good use of surround channels. Volume levels of the 'DTS HD MA' track are slightly on the higher side and to make things worse, the volume levels get noticeably louder during song sequences. As loud as the 'DTS HD MA' track is, the DD track is even substantially louder than the 'DTS HD MA' track. Seems to me the authoring companies are using LCD/Plasma TV speakers as their standard for audio.
