Bollywood fans will have to wait a little longer for the high-def release of 'Saawariya,' which Sony says will now hit Blu-ray this May, two months later than expected.

As previously reported, Sony had originally set a March 15 arrival for 'Saawariya,' day-and-date with the standard-def DVD. The studio has now set a new date of May 6 for both versions for 'Saawariya.'

Presented on a BD-50 dual-layer disc, the next-gen edition will include 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video and Hindi and English dub Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround options.

Supplements are fairly minimal, with only a "Making the Music" featurette and a "Premiere Night" montage of press kit footage included.

As previously announced, Sony has set a suggested retail for the Blu-ray of $38.95.

Although RRP is $38.95, Amazon has listed it for $26.95 which is not bad in comparison to Hollywood Blu-ray disks.

Have you got any news about any other Bollywood Blu-ray releases. Om Shanti Om, Heyy Babyy or any others.

Thanks.

I have to disagree. Read the short story from which the movie is based on. When you watch it...view it as a MUSICAL and nothing else...think of it as a story told through the MOODS, the COLOURS & MUSIC only...forget the story itself...put yourself IN the movie and see it...you will TRULY APPRECIATE the GENIUS behind this movie. Yes, it was NOT the best...but appreciating this movie depends on your knowledge of the material behind the movie and what the director wanted.

2.40:1 (Anamorphic Scope)
When a director wants to give his or her picture that ‘epic’ feel, something that simply isn’t possible when shooting in Academy Flat, they have a couple of options open to them. At present the most popular of these is Anamorphic Scope, with its ratio of 2.40:1 (meaning that the image is 2.4 times wider than it is tall). Often referred to simply as Scope, after the old CinemaScope format, the ratio was altered to 2.40:1 from 2.35:1 in the 1970s in order to better hide film splices. Many people still refer to Scope as 2.35:1, and it is for this reason that a great number of Scope DVD releases are still labelled as 2.35:1 (although this is now beginning to change). Some examples of well-known films presented in the Scope ratio are the Star Wars trilogy, Jaws, Alien and, more recently, Donnie Darko.
