Any suggestion, should we opt for Digital presentation or a regular 35mm film screening ??
Steer as far away as you can from a digital screening of a bollywood movie. Count your blessings, that you actually have the option to make the choice and watch the movie with a 35mm film screening. Almost every single 'digital screening' I have seen of a bollywood movie, has been absolutely crap and this is in spite of watching them at the best theaters here.
1) Just noticed that the theatre that I thought had "Digital Presentation", actually states "DIGITAL" for this and all other films. It's a good theatre and I think, it means "Dolby Digital" or "DTS" referring to Audio. Can't have all 9-10 films screening Digital Video.
2) Saw Agneepath at the other theatre (AMC).
It's a heavy duty film from the Get Go. Not a gimmicks, style or light entertainment film. No boring portions, and keeps the intensity throughout.
Haven't seen orig Agneepath, so can't comment on comparison. Moreover, I had not seen it's promotions or read it's hype so big film actors came as a surprise and it took me a while to realize who they were. Meaning, good makeover that you see characters and not actors. (If I was Rishi Kapoor, I would not have accepted that role)
As expected, this AMC theatre (most AMCs) doesn't have Dolby Digital and hence got Front Speakers sound only. There was plenty of aggressive bass, though.
BTW, either I blinked or that the highly advertised hot scene bet Hritik & Priyanka, has been cut off ??
Screening (from the start of the main feature) was 169 min till the end credits start and 174 min till the end of end credits. Logos showed Dolby Digital and DTS. (There was no CC)
