Magadheera DVD

company- sri balaji video
Price -220/-
2 dvds - dvd1 main movie (7.5 GB )
-dvd 2 special features and making of the movie
Audio- dolby digital


At times were i have been hooked to blurays this dvd transfer is one of the best of our desi movies . other companies shud look at this dvd transfer offered from Sri balaji videos

The P/Q is amazing except in a couple of scenes where its blurrish ,but nothing to worry as this happens only twice and its only for a few seconds.

The audio is dolby digital ,very crisp and exciting ,low frequencies are absolutely hard hitting and tight , though the high frequencies cud have been a little softer , but i had no issues and dint have to adjust any settings on the AVR , and it cud be played at reference levels without any issues unlike the other indian movie releases that too on Blurays

overall a very good DVD transfer from Sri balaji video , i wish these guys would come out with a greater BD transfer

Hats of to sri Balaji video for this fantastic offering:clapping: this definetly is one of the better, indian dvd transfer
Definetly a worthy buy till its blu ray release

+1 to that. Quality of DVD is excellent which is rare thing even for bollywood movies. It just increased expectations on Blu ray. Eagerly waiting for the Blu ray...Hope this won't turn out like King and Arundathi.

Idlebrain,

Your above statement implies Bollywood DVDs are generally better. It is not the case. Most of the time, I find Tamil and Telugu DVDs (of new movies) to be far superior in AV quality than the latest and most expensive Bollywood DVDs. Very rarely you would find Hindi DVDs with DTS audio while most of the Tamil and Telugu movies come with crisp DTS. I can even go to the extent of saying some of them are far superior to the Hollywood releases.

What is more, in most of the Telugu DVDs one can find a separate option in the Main Menu to play only the audio tracks of the songs in DTS.

Yes The option of giving the audio tracks in DVD is a good option, however there will be menu to play video songs alone that also can be played in DTS format and it solves the purpose.

They have slightly slashed some prices on their MRP price of the discs for few titles.

Thats nice.I haven't checked it yet.will check it tomorrow. I personally felt DVD itself got great quality in PQ and SQ.
How you rate it compared to DVD?Is there a big difference in PQ?

 

[subhash]

The BD is far superior

Theres a major improvement in both SQ/PQ

PQ is fantastic ,very sharp and crisp transfer, kajol agarwal and ram charan wud have never looked this good with great skin tones .colors are fabulous

SQ simply blows (the Audio of the dvd was slightly bright ,thats been taken care of here in the BD )

The PQ of the 17th century scenes are simply awesome

Though in one of the CGI of the horse chase scene looks a little suspect, but it makes up with a great background score

Its a great buy and some scenes can be used for showing off your system

Most DVD titles from SriBalaji have a great audio track.. of the ones I have I like sound of Indra, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantaana.. and Varsham is okay too.. in those 3 movies the sound is pretty good too. I would buy any of their releases.
