I have seen the Ashoka DVD and was very pleased with the sound and picture quality. The Story was good and the acting great by all.

I think this guy (Rakesh Budhu) has a problem knowing what is good and what is bad. In UK the film was a hit and I have no one coming out of the cinema and saying this film is a flop.

I would reccomend this DVD to everyone. Its one for the collection.

The guy who wrote that is the same person who said Lagaan DVD was packed with special features :rolleyes:

Just to correct BUDHU, jo BUDHU hi rahega! ASOKA won best cinematography at FF for my likening!!
I agree, If u would take all Anu,s albums from 2001, from MKKH to ASOKA, ASOKA was the best! but HE hets NOMINATED for MKKH, not for any thing else! WHAT a PITTY!
POLITICS!! I think for SRK to be nominated as BEST ACTOR< I'll edge for ASOKA over KKKG, but YRF takes the PRECEDENCE!! POLITICS again!

and if i am not wrong pls. somebody correct me here! Kariena Kapoor was nominated as BEST ACTRESS(my foot) for ASOKA too!!! HHOOOOO< HOOOOO:stupid: :vangry:

Yeah, both these articles are from the same Rakesh Budhu guy.
The comments that really get me in the Asoka DVD article:

1. A transparent disc that perhaps a high-end DVD player can read better.:rolleyes:
2. Indian DVDs supercede most Hollywood DVDs in terms of extra features.???
3. Kasoor, Albela, and Hum Ho Gaye Aapke had 2 disc specials with EXCELLENT picture quality.

Yaar bola na!! Budhoo, hai budhoo hi rahega!!He does not know what he is talking abt, and when people confront him with e.mail he never replies!! whata GUTS!!! BTW!!NOT TO FOGET THIS ONE< he officially released DDLJ twice on PB before it got released!:baaa:

ASOKA is my favourite DVD. Presently available First Look's Region 1 DVD is a copy of PAL DVD and perhaps is not a genuine DVD. I will wait for the official release. If that too is copied from PAL DVD, then I will go for the Region 2 Metrodome DVD even if it means buying extra hardware.

RANA ji how can asoka be your favourite when you say "then I will go for the Region 2 Metrodome DVD even if it means buying extra hardware" u mean you haven’t even got the dvd yet its ur favourite ???

BTW is rakesh budhu is a joke someone needs to grab hold of him give him a good few slaps! D:

That is pure and total BS. Come on, with Hindi movies, the most we get on dvds are stuff like Mohabbatein and DDLJ, and that too comes very rarely (and with poor video quality).

American movies standardly come with much more extra features, including deleted scenes, theatrical trailors, subtitles in various languages, audio in different languages. Then, look at the DVDs for films like Gladiator, Se7en (Most amazing dvd ever), Fight Club, T2 (special edition). Come on, Indian dvds can't match up to this.

im just curios..when is the FLP Asoka DVD releasing? :wot:

April 23rd. It's interesting as only the special Indian DVD stores are still selling that FLP Asoka DVD, even DEI site recently selling it. Most other R1 retailers have it still on pre-order.

Ali

hmmm...yeah...disturbing.... :bored: OT today marks a very special day.....for all indians...(especially me..since i live in Australia..)today was the day(last year)...that David conquered Goliath.
:happy:

I cant see what the fuss is all about? :music: There is a perfect r2 release by metrodome out already. So why get the R1 release?!

can someone give me an estimate on how much it will cost to get my dvd player modified to play disks from all regions?

will r2 disks play as well on my dvd player as someone with a genuine r2 dvd player? will there be some problems because of the different formats (PAL and NTSC)?
