Ra.One 3D Blu-ray available in France

[Happy_Evil_Dude]

And crap...I bought mine from Eros.

French distributor Condor Entertainment has released the Anubhav Sinha-directed superhero film Ra.One in an ultimate steelbook Blu-ray 3D/2D/DVD combo pack (2D/DVD combo also available here) as Voltage.

The disc has 5.1 DTS-HD MA in Hindi and dubbed French, with French subtitles. Specail features include a making-of featurette and deleted scenes. No clue as to the picture quality.

So probably this is the first 3D blu ray of a bollywood film? How i wish the movie was even .0001% good. Entirely my opinion.

i liked the train sequence. Only that!!


aptly named.. voltage for the audience!! xD

UPDATE: so apparently, according to an Amazon user comment, the Hindi track is 6.1, not 5.1, and according to another user, the 3D and 2D are on the same disc for the 3D version which I find strange.

MSRP is €29,99 for the Steelbook 3D/2D/DVD combo and €24,99 for the 2D/DVD Splipcover combo (and €19,99 for the basic DVD)

I believe that is the case yes. There have been a couple of Indian releases like Haunted or Raaz 3, but I'm pretty sure they're all standard Blu-rays to be watched with Anaglyph red/blue 3D glasses.

Really? I haven't watched it yet, but surely with that amount of talent and means behind it must at least be .0001% good on some level or another? Then again, the most expensive French film ever made, Astérix 3, iqs quite the crapfest, so who knows...

Ra.One probably works for kids, but the Tamil film Enthiran(Robot), to which Ra.One is the closest, totally blows it out of the water.

I ordered it very tough maneuvering around a french amazon site, lucky i am a US amazon prime member so i did one click had to pay for shipping price all said and done its about $48 to get it delivered to california not cheap, but its the first 3d bollywood film and ra-one is eye candy with its fight scenes.

+1.

and its a shame on part of Indian home video companies to have been failed to release a Real 3D Blu-Ray or a Blu-Ray with its original 6.1/7.1 mix (there are loads of Indian movies mixed in 7.1 and a large number of them have been mixed in 6.1 in the past but never made it to their blu rays ) , i'm sure like Jodha Akbar this movie will also be having much better picture and audio quality than its Indian counterpart.

What's so strange about that ? even Avatar has both 2D And 3D versions on the same disk.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought it would compromise quality as you have to put the movie twice on the disk. I only have on 3D/2D combo, and they're on seperate discs.

That's not how it's done with MVC encoding. One file contains the full frame contents (left eye) and the other file contains only the difference (right eye). Some 3D movies (like Disney's) have floating windows (vertical black bars on either side of the image) during certain scenes. This isn't really noticeable when you watch in 3D but is really distracting in 2D. This is why 2D is usually on a separate disc.

You now have 5 releases on Blu-ray, I have 3:

Comparison:
1. Eros 1 Disc
-Good Picture and Sound
-Best menu + songs menu
-Great Artwork

2. Rapid Eye (German) 1 Disc
Do not have this (because of Forced subtitles (I have the Don2 Rapid Eye release)

3. MAXAM (Japan) 2 Disc - Blu-ray and DVD
-Best Picture and Sound
-Quick menu in Japanese
-Great Artwork
-No songs menu
-extra disc insert (nice artwork)

4. Condor (French) 2 Disc - 3D Blu-ray and DVD
-it's fun to see some scenes in 3D
-Bad Picture quality (some black is almost grey!)
-Quick menu
-Best feature is the Steel book
-No songs menu
-No insert
-Forced French subtitles
(maybe I have a faulty disc, every 5 sec till 00:30 min I have a flicker/glitch)...amazon.fr contacted me to have the disc replaced how nice!

5. Condor (French) 2D Blu-ray 2 Disc - 2D Blu-ray and DVD
Do not have this
