This movie does have a song from Mr India. Is it original film inserted in the film or just Cinema screen phtographed?? Being MGM, Audio on that song must be good.

Two more reviews of the R1 MGM DVD of Salaam Bombay!

DVD Talk -

Picture: The picture was presented in anamorphic widescreen, in the movie's original 1.85: 1 ratio. The picture looked very good considering the low budget (~$800,000), indie nature of the film as shot in India. The dvd transfer was very sharp considering the source material and had few artifacts or other problems.

Sound: The audio was presented in the original Hindi, with English subtitles with a choice of either a mono soundtrack or an enhanced 5.1 surround. There were English, French, and Spanish subtitles to choose from.


Classics On DVD -

VIDEO AND AUDIO QUALITY:

The source material is in excellent condition, with only a tiny bit of debris. The colors are very strong and natural, and the flesh tones are life-like and consistent. Black level is deep, and contrast and shadow detail is very good. The overall image has a soft, film-like quality, but there are a few brief stretches where the image is overly soft.

The disc includes both the original mono track and a "digitally enhanced" 5.1 mix. The original mono offers very good tone quality and fidelity, with strong bass. Unfortunately, the 5.1 mix is much less dynamic, with very noticeably weak bass. The original mono track is infinitely preferable.

Digitally restored version of Salaam Bombay is now available. It's done by NFDC under their well acclaimed flag of CINEAMS OF INDIA.

Please upload screenshots if available any.
