Bollywood on Blu-Ray?? - Page 29

Just watched 'Pyar Impossible" on BD. Dopey movie (as expected), but light-hearted fun (a la 'Neal-n-Nikki'). Nice picture quality and pretty good surround mix too (when the camera switches angles, characters that were talking on-screen can be heard softly off to the side continuing their conversation). Anyone else see this movie?

For some reason I have rented two bollywood blu-rays from Netflix so far and both failed to play on PS3.. recently two separate BD discs of Billu Barber from Netflix failed to play on PS3 any clue why?

I thought Netflix BD should play in US region PS3.

Maybe your Ps3 has a better taste in movies than you

It wasn't for me

Anyone with PS3 and Netflix Hindi BDs?

I have a PS3 and also own 3 blurays from Bollywood(OSO,DDLJ, Saawariya) but haven't tried Billu barber on it. Was the disc badly scratched? Sometimes washing it with water to clean off any sludge helps..

The BDs were clean, no scratches or anything. Sometimes PS3 would say can't play this video file and would stuck there.

Seems like Eros released some new movies on Blu.. of interest might be Munnabhai MBBS, Wanted etc

They seem to be on sale from 16- 18 bucks or so.

Thanks. Too bad I bought Wanted on DVD last week.

"Don" is released and the stills look decent.

For all the Canadians out there, where are you getting the Bollywood blurays from?

I had the same problem. Billu Barber and Bhool Buliyan will not play on ps3. When you go to info box it shows empty disk..

Ditto here with Billu from Netflix. You get a splash screen telling you about the wonders of Blu Ray, (they seem to miss the great DRM it has though ) and the disc then gives you a blank screen.

This is on a sony blu ray player with the most recent firmware update.....

Isn't it great that the technology designed to stop real pirates does nothing but we honest folks have to wait 3 minutes for some discs to play, during which time the player is working on de and re scrambling it. For someone who rarely watches a movie twice (and hence would NOT keep a copy) this is a lot of wasted motion and electricity.

We returned Billu for a second disc, and it didn't play either. Sorry Shah Rukh, not tonight.

So where the hell is Lagaan BD, didn't it have release date in spring 2010?

Same question about Dil Chahta Hai...that was supposed to be released early this year

DCH is released in India from T-Series. But it's not the restored version coming later. Has also watermarks on the songs and no supplements.

K3G has been released in Germany. Details here

Wondering when 3 Idiots is hitting Bluray..

Yeah, saw '3 Idiots' twice in the theatres. Been holding off buying the DVD, expecting it to show up on BD any day now. Wonder what the hold up is.

Yes, I've been holding off for the same reason as well. I did notice the blu ray listed on Eros website so hopefully it will come soon

I had sent one email about 3 idiots blu-ray release & I was told September,2010

Hey, that's next month. Hopefully it really is released in September.

Looks like Rajneeti is the latest on blu-ray . Anybody got this one yet - any comments on AQ/PQ?

That would be fantastic! Looking fwd to it!

Still waiting for that restored version of Dil Chahta Hai.

In case anyone is still wondering how to get Billu to work on blu ray in your PS3, I found a workaround on another site.

Apparantly, there is an authoring error. You have to somehow navigate to title 5, chapter 1 to play the movie from the start:

I just bought the Billu blu ray yesterday and had the same problem on my PS3. Don't know if the solution was posted, but if you go to the control panel (the triangle button) and go to the "Go To" option, there should be a display that pops up in the bottom right corner saying the title number, chapter, etc. I messed around and discovered that in order to play the movie from the beginning, you have to go to Title 5, Chapter 1. At that point it starts in the beginning and you can skip between chapters to get to songs or what have you. Hope this helps!

Enjoy!

So Gowarikers Swades and Jodhaa Akbar has already been released on Bluray, we need Lagaan! I wonder what's happened to it, it had realease date at early 2010?

Can anyone comment on the PQ of Veer? The one with Salman Khan, not Veer Zaara with Shah Rukh Kahn.

an off topic question - any good online bollywood movie rental site that you might know?
I was using zdag & they stopped the service. Prior to that I was using another one ( forgot the name, but they were pretty awesome). Netflix is very slow in getting bollywood movies I am not interested in getting the piated ones

try njmtv.com. For me the best selection and customer service i have seen

cool, let me try them out. They are based in NJ, so shipping to West Coast might be an issue - but , something is beter than nothing
