Rocky Balboa too from Excel in Hindi and English 5.1 -- nicely done Hindi dub.

May be a good idea to submit some SS from US PLATINUM edition to decorate this thread newdeep

YES -- can u do it?

certainly!

Thanks Zoran009 and Ali.

Ali bhai, can you put in a comment on top of the screenshots that these are of the R1 DVD United States...? Thx.

No problem, done!

Ali

I got this
Real cool pack -- the small storybook is hardcover and glossy pages.
And yes, with the Baat Ban Gayi music video, the Excel Home Videos Indian dvd is a notch above the R1 American in terms of extras.
R1 American has the advantage of the original mono track audio though.
Meanwhile, the Excel Indian dvd is R1, R4, R5 coded and NTSC.

Zoran009, is there a free booklet with the R1 edition? What kind of booklet?

The good news is that for the first time ever, SaReGaMa have released English and Hindi audio on the same dvd disc (Shrek III) rather than releasing separate dvd products for the different languages. They seem to have been inspired by Excel -- like they say, there will be leaders like Excel, and then, there will be followers

Another company that frequently releases dvds with multi-language audio options is SPHE India (Sony), but sadly not all of their releases are widescreen and not all their trannsfers have good PQ. I have their Spider-Man trilogy and though I have always enjoyed the Hindi dub, I have found myself wishing for more in video quality.

Updated list above...
