I am so angry I feel like screaming... Shame on Eros, RedChillies, and SRK too!!

Have you ever seen a DVD with ads inside the movie instead of being separately packed outside the movie in Extras / Special Features?

Well... watch the Indian Eros DVDs of these two Red Chillies SRK releases:

Main Hoo Naa

Paheli

There are ads inside the movie!!!

PLUS, both these DVDs have just good stereo in the front-speakers -- there is almost no existence of surround sound!!! (Talking of Indian Eros -- am not sure if the U.S. or U.K. Eros prints too have these issues.)

What a waste!

I understand your anger. Thankfully on my versions of PAHELI and MAIN HOON NA there are no ads to be found during the movie. I probably have the UK-versions.

I fucking hate this new practice, which is apparently catching on. My Waqt (2005) DVD (released by Eros) has these annoying "ring-tone" advertisements, which pop up during every damned song. I've already purchased the movie from you; now, shut the hell up about trying to get me to buy more stuff. When I'm watching a film, I don't want to be bombarded by your shitty commercials; you cram them in at the beginning of the DVD, before the film (once you press "play"), and everywhere else you find room (including under the "special features" [hell, often, your only "special features" are commercials for the DVDs you're soon going to release or have already released). I hate Indian DVDs. I'm sure that "HD-DVD"s/"Blu-Ray"/whatever won't be any better.

I didn't see any ads during the movie on MHN and Paheli, on the copies I rented.

I haven't yet seen Paheli, but Main Hoon Na was a pretty good "entertainer." It was kind of like seeing a David-Dhawan film, only it wasn't quite so stupid.

I don't have ads in those DvD's, but I had a DvD of Kaante (T-Series, I think) with ads. That was really <censor> :evil: ! Just like watching a program on TV :? !

I've bought James (T-Series), didn't checked if there are ads in it :o :roll: ..

SARKAR -- T-SERIES INDIA -- Special pack -- There are ads (before the menu appears ) that you cannot skip while playing on a DVD player. You have to have to watch all the ads before the movie menu appears -- very irritating

MAIN HOO NAA -- EROS INDIA -- While the movie is playing, suddenly ads appear in the main flow -- most irritating

PAHELI -- EROS INDIA -- While the movie is playing, suddenly ads appear in the main flow -- most irritating

I can' stand it also. I hate it, it's getting to be like the old VHS days. I think we should have a topic where we can all help eachother as to the DVD'S old and new that has this ads while the movie is playing so we can boycot it.

The ads are there to make money. The only answer these companies understand are money too. No purchase. No sales. No money.

Anwar, will you be able to tell us if your copies have any good surround sound effect from the rear surround speakers?
