Présenté sur deux DVD en raison de sa durée (190 minutes), le master est exempt du moindre petit défaut. La compression est limpide et les couleurs d’une grande richesse, renforçant l’enchantement visuel des scènes colorées et des paysages indiens. On se délecte à chaque instant. Une édition d'une superbe qualité visuelle.

Is the Bodega DVD the same as this version?

guess so...

Aspect Ratio looks to be a whopping 2.66:1

as good as it gets!!I am glad French came to senses after cramping humungo Devdas on single disc.

No, that's the German release from Rapid Eye Movies. To be avoided! Bad sharpness, cranked-up contrast and missing frames.



It's the same ratio as the UTV release...

BODEGA:

...and I hope that Bodega screenshot is not accurate, because the transfer looks the same as REM's.

First set of real dvd captured screen shots just sent to ali bhaii..stay tuned

Thanks to ali bhaii, and our dear friend Fred to provide us at his best earliest convenience.

I totally agree with a previous opinion here that contrast is way enhanced while UTV looks better as far contrast.

Fred claims that DTS soundtrack on this film is never heard before sound on a hindi dvd!! Another one was MON SOON WEDDING.

Yep, for sure. UTV also has better sharpness I think, although that may just be down to edge enhancement. Comparing the French shots with the German DVD, I think Bodega's has slightly better colour rendition (less green) and less soft video than Rapid Eye's. Both have been squashed a little though in the framing compared with the UTV ratio.

Thanks for the shots, by the way.

Is the Bodega the one to get, then?

I guess it depends on what you pefer. If PAL/Progressive(?)/DTS over PAL-to-NTSC interlaced, then Bodega. If natural colour/contrast and good sharpness over cranked-up colour/contrast and soft picture, then UTV.

My personal preference would be the UTV DVD.

I understand Stephen, just put DTS to UTV!! man!!
I like more natural , mellow PQ

There's the dilemma. Maybe a fourth version will come out
