The only thing I would have changed about the DVD is to add something from Richard Attenborough on this. It took him what, 20 years to make the film? I'm sure there were some great stories to tell.

Richard Attenborough did write a book, IN SEARCH OF GANDHI, about the making of the film. However, it's out of print now. It is available at Powells Books:

In Search of Gandhi at PowellsBooks.com

I managed to find one at a used bookstore a few weeks ago, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I think I'll read it before I watch my DVD!

Yes, and this can be gauged from the opening credits where they actually thank that scumbag called Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru ($?$/&/&/$). I think it was probably conceived by Attenborough in the early 60s (when Nehru was alive) and then it finally went into production in the late 1970s and was released in 1982 !

R1 has less subtitles than the R2; according to specs I've seen on most online stores. Reviews reflect this too. I remember the special edition of Desperado on R2 having Hindi subtitles too, that was from Colombia too. I only have the R1 DVD and can’t really confirm this myself but doesn’t look like a mistake that will be made by R2 reviews across the board.

On second thoughts no...

"He thought abt the glass
He thought abt his dick"

with such a translation I think I wouldnt care much abt Hindi subtitles... That must be a real awful translation also .. I wonder what the original lines were :D
