With a running time of 74 mins and 17 chapter marks, the documentary can be easily accessed. With excerpt interviews from the cast and crew on the director, and his film, the documentary is highly filling and satisfying. Here the director gives us his account on the whole pre-production, production and post production work for this film. Behind The Scenes Documentary:- This feature is perhaps one of the best documentaries made on the making of an Indian film. With a running time of 2 mins 50 secs, and in great quality, it will not disappoint film fans. Original Theatrical Trailer:- The trailer is presented in its original aspect ratio of 2.66:1 and is in anamorphic. The sub-menu for this plays the song Maiyya Yashoda in a isolated 5.1 mix. The promos are listed as the following Hum Saath - Saath Hain Yeh To Such Hai Chote Chote ABCD Mhara Hiwda Me Maiyya Yashoda They all total up to a 6 mins running time, and are in good quality. On the second DVD we get the following features - Song Promos:- Here we have six promos and all are individually chaptered for easy access. The extras founded on this disc have to be one of the best seen on an Indian DVD disc set, and truly merit the word collectors edition. The first DVD has the feature film, while the second contains all the supplementary features. But this was quite brief and won`t effect viewing as much.įeatures The DVD comes on two discs. Finally a couple of scenes did have the picture frame moving up and down quite vigorously.
I presume it is how the graphics was originally generated. However a couple of times it did seem slightly soft, which was strange as the images around it was still sharp.
But on this DVD the CGI looks like part of the film set and was more realistic. In the video version the CGI used was rather poor, and stood out as a cheap effect. The CGI (Computer Generated Graphics) used in the film also came out quite well. I guess brightness was inessential as the majority of the film was shot on a soundstage. Interestingly enough you can seen the refection of the strong barn lights on some of the props seen within the frame. Contrast levels are slightly high but the film was originally shot like. The whole dark images display many black shadow detail that was crisp and defined with ease on the eyes. An example of this can be seen during the dark scene with Saif Ali Khan and Karishma Kapoor in chapter 19. Contrast levels and black shadows also was handled with care. With no signs of any colour distortion and with much detailed shades on this disc it helps gives the film a cinematic feel. These remain as vibrant and as wondrous on this DVD as they did on the big screen. Since the film deals in Indian cultural events like marriage and family get-togethers a sense of bright colours are used by the director to reflect upon this issue. Colour definition and saturation was rather three dimensional, bringing out the many colours that the film had. Still many viewers won`t find it as distracting as I did, and will immensely be impressed by overall picture quality which has a high balance of sharpness, proving excellent visual information missed out upon during the theatrical run of the film. Because of the line resolution, picture details can become quite a problem for certain picture images to be encoded as it is the case for this title. I suspect that the NTSC format was the main reason for this problem as it doesn`t offer a better resolution of lines like the PAL format.
But the picture did have a high amounts of shimmering and moiré effects that really became the only distracting notion on the overall sharp and clear picture information present on this DVD. Compression artefacts and grain problems didn`t present any concerns when viewing as they were non-existent. Because not a lot of DVNR was used on this title problems like digital filtering is not as avidly seen on this DVD as such as they are seen on a DEI`s older title like Roja. But the majority of the whole film DVNR was not used, and showed how well clean the print was. The reason being was that blemishes was originally present on this part of the film on the 35mm negative, which the DVNR had concealed quite well on this DVD. Some use of DVNR (Digital Visual Noise Reduction) was present during the title song in chapter two. Taken from the interpositive 35mm negative print the film remains quite clean from wear and tear. Video This DVD has kept the original intentions of the director as it has been framed according to the original aspect ratio of 2.66:1.
