Does this Shemaroo DVD fare better than the Asian release?

This pirated dvd5 was the best ever! I think asian is interlaced version of same dvd! shemaroo seems same master though

Yet another Aa Ab Laut Chalen DVD - this one's by TTE:









And some comparison shots - Shemaroo on top, TTE below:

The Asian ab ab laut chalen was a pain, we had to return it to the store for a refund, dvd froze and english subtitles didn't come on.

I have the Shemaroo dvd -- it's 5.1 but the mix is not the same as in the theatre, sadly

I don't think that's entirely accurate -- check out the open-matte frames from Gladiator here: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompare7/gladiator.htm

OK, saw that. May be DragunR2 and/ or other cinematography experts can explain further ??

many Hollywood movies are shot that way I think... perhaps this huge frame is the super65 process... not sure

what happens is that from such a frame, 2.35:1 version is extracted as well as pan-and-scan --- note that pan-and-scan happens on the huge frame not on the 2.35 version -- so if you view the pan-and-scan and 2.35:1 versions side by side, there will be several scenes where you will see more picture on top and bottom in the p&s frame than what you see in the 2.35 frame.
