PARDES-PLATINUM


Now single sided with dual layering. Video picture is much brighter, sharper and without the blemishes or speckles that plagued the previous release. Nice upgrade. The 5.1 dolby remastering is a huge improvement over the 4-channel Dolby Digital of the first one, in which the center channel sound was missing, and adds alot to the enjoyment of the movie and songs ("I Love My India" and "Meri Mehbooba" in particular).

The main menu graphics are colorful and fun to use especially the chapter index and song menu, where instead of a still picture you get a moving image of each possible selection. Unfortunately, EROS/DEI has once again made remote control use of the subtitles impossible. You have to select from the main menu. And wouldn't this have been a good time for EROS/DEI to try putting subtitles on the songs as well as the dialogue, since this is a platinum edition? And couldn't they have put a few more extras: filmographies, biographies, audio commentary, deleted scenes, etc. As American DVD special editions do. Maybe I'm nitpicking, because overall I'm very pleased with the quality upgrade they did with "Pardes." Hope they do as good a job on their upcoming Platinum DVDS.
