I loved this movie when I saw it at the theater and recommend it to all lovers of off-beat Indian cinema. Got the DVD off Flipkart today, just skimming over the DVD to look at the visuals and taking some screens. My brief impressions: Pretty good job on the whole, the color scheme and contrast of the movie is very well represented, although it does struggle a bit with some darker scenes. Image is softer than I would have liked (or is that because I've been watching more stuff on BD these days?). There is some motion related artifacting evident while watching the film (I don't know what the term for it is- ghosting perhaps?). Perhaps bitrate should have been higher, I don't know. I only have a stereo setup so I won't make any remarks on the sound other than that dialog and songs sound clear and clean to me. One thing to note is that I saw only one instance of the company logo - for some 5 seconds or so after the opening credit sequence. No watermarks or anything I noticed at least at the beginning of any of the song sequences. Kudos to the authoring company and to Reliance for respecting the customers.

I would love to see this film come out in BD sometimes, although I wonder if the master used for this DVD would be sufficient for a hi-def release.

Motion related issues:

This PQ looks too bad, crushed blacks, bad contrasts! looks like a pirate. is film like dev d strictly rated R for mature audience?

Yeah, definitely a mature audiences movie.

Great film, i liked it too. Fine actors with Shergill, Hooda and Mahie Gill continues rocking. Good performances in the smaller roles too.
I know the love triangle story may be inspired by the 60's classic film and therefore the title likeness homage
But
For me this film felt like a Gulaal Light. Crime and confusion in northern India and Shergill as Kay Kay, Uttar Pradesh here
and Rajasthan there, crazy wife here and crazy brother there, a criminal noble guy in the same looking clothes with a moustache and
a mistress in both, so i guess Tigmanshu Dhulia is a fan.

I've only seen his ignored Shagird from 2011 and that was nice too with it's corruption satire , the twist ending and a funny
scumbag Nana Patekar, but this film was better - absolutely on my Top Ten list 2011

It is not clear buddy!

saw SB&G last night.

A little disappointed especially after what was a very good start. But about 40 min in, plotting seems to take over at the expense of characterisation IMHO (which can be fine except that almost all of it is telegraphed well in advance).

Shame, because the writing was very good early on and it was well acted and shot all the way through.

Having said all of that, if more indian cinema heads this way, I will watch more of it

After hearing all good things, khodda pahad Nicklaa chooha;( lol
What is da difference between umpteen films currently and in the past?
I personally liked once upon in Mumbai, and nothing can best maqbool. Gulaal did not see, might catch if any thing better..not worth. Ya restrained performance by shergill, kinda taking on devgund IMHO. I thought ramu was the one who explored such genre
