Special Features:NONE
Special Mention:NO separate 'Song Menu' to allow direct selection of song.
<-- This should be a no brainer for all Bollywood films.Authoring issues:1. Pop-up Menus don't close on their own and stay up forever, until either you make a selection or use the button on the remote to close the menu. The 'pop-up' menu should automatically close after a specified time (10-15 seconds) of inactivity.
2. There is no chapter/title information displayed when played on a PS3. Even on the Oppo BDP-83 player, the title number of the title playing does not display. This seems to be a problem with all BDs authored by Digital Entertainment.
3. The left/right/enter keys on the PS3 'remote' do not function as rewind/forward/pause buttons, like they do with all other BDs/DVDs. This too is a problem with all BDs authored by Digital Entertainment.
4. The menus are devoid of any design, let alone imagination. The most amateurish menus on any Indian blu-ray so far.
Review:Video: Extreme DNR, rendering the picture totally waxy and lifeless. The colors are atrocious at times, specially considering this is a new movie. In all fairness the 'digital' print that I viewed in the theatrical release suffered from the similiar issues, except that the picture definately had more detail in the theater and it seems more DNR has been applied for the blu-ray.
Audio: The volume level is too loud. This is now consistently a problem with Digital Entertainment authored blu-rays. Very ill defined and boomy bass.
