Video
The transfer is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is 16x9 enhanced.
The sharpness is good throughout, as is the black level and shadow detail.
Colour is rich and even right through, without any traces of oversaturation or colour bleed.
There were no obvious MPEG artefacts although there was slight aliasing present on a number of occasions, though never particularly severe.
Film artefacts were restricted to a number of black marks around 109:55, which at times were pretty bad.
English subtitles are available and are provided in a yellow font which is clear at all times. On the whole the translation provided for the original Hindi is pretty accurate and well-timed. The occasional spoken English is not translated.
The layer change occurs at 107:45 and is pretty smoothly done.
Audio
This is a very good Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, full of surround activity almost throughout the film.
The only soundtrack is the original Hindi, in Dolby Digital 5.1.
Dialogue is fine with no distortion or problems with lip-sync.
The music by Ram Sampath suits the on-screen action at all times without drawing particular attention to itself. There are a few song sequences, though thankfully nowhere near as many as most Bollywood films.
Rear surround speakers are called into action many times throughout this film. There's plenty of surround activity with front to rear pans as well as pans across the rear speakers. The surround speakers carry sound effects such as gunfire and traffic noise, cattle sounds and music.
The subwoofer, fed by its 0.1 LFE channel, provides some nice oomph to support the plentiful gunfire and other explosions. It's nicely balanced without drawing attention to itself.
