DVD Review Thought provoking film as Nandita Das and Sharad Kapoor start a bloody revolution in Lal Salaam - check out the DVD on release from Samrat International...

Staring: Nandita Das, Sharad Kapoor, Sayaji Shinde, Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav and Makrande Deshpande
Director: Gaganvihari Boratte
Producer: Sanjiv Karambelkaar
Music: Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar
Running time: 130 minutes
Year: 2002 (cinema), 2002 (DVD)
DVD: Single sided dual layered
Release by: Samrat International
Alternate versions: None
Extras:
None

Video:

Aspect ratio: 2.25:1
Anamorphic enhanced: Yes
Format: NTSC (Region 1)
Source: 7/10 Artifacts: 7/10 Sharpness: 7/10 Colour: 8/10 Contrast: 8/10
Comment: surprisingly good video transfer; mostly clean sourced, vibrant colours and remarkable detail even on dark lit scenes. Bit rate is fairly high ~7Mb/sec. Few flaws, video/interlaced sourced transfer instead of film/progressive which shows aliasing and motion artefacts. Sharpness is good but could have been better. Comparable to Ayngaran DVDs.

Language/Formats: Hindi Dolby Digital 5.1
Subtitles: English (excluding songs)
Source: 6/10 Clarity: 7/10
Comment: encoded in Dolby Digital 5.1, but seems a very weak 5.1 mix - only the front channels are active, rear surrounds apart from a slight noise have no audio

Overall DVD rating: 7/10
- good DVD let down by the weak sound (not sure of the original film sound mix - so this could be unavoidable)
