Cheeni Kum - Screenshots - zEROS

Well these look a lot better than their last few releases...Maybe not zEros this time?

[Cool]

yea I guess not zEROS. I still think there was a bit more DNR applies than the print probably needed. For EROS anything better is an improvement I guess.

Main issues I see in this BD are:

- a bit excessive DNR
- Edge Enhancement
- Slight halos

Keep in mind the above problems are in very minor amounts. Eros seems to have pulled off a good bd this time

[divyansh]

my question is why they added a dolby true hd audio track when dts-hd-ma is included it will just consume more bandwidth and limit the bandwidth for the video...........

2ndly though dnr may be applied in this one but the colour contrast levels seems just perfect unlike previous eros releases lak and ddd

and dis reely doesnt seems a Zeros release.........ITS EROS..........

Thanks Rancho. Screenshots updated!

Thanks guys!

EROS (not zEROS this time ) did do a good job on this overall. The only thing I have to say to EROS is to lessen DNR. Also the Aspect Ratio shown hints some cropping was done to the left and right before encoding this.

the picture does look soft beacuse of dnr been applied.......i dont know why they did this i think oso also had some hints of dnr been applied...... but newayzzz they have surely improved from lak and dd.......my rating for pq from scrrens will be 4.25/5

[-MK-]

^yaa...dnr is applied to oso also i think...picture is soft and i was thinking about that for a long time...hope in their next releases they get rid of this issues...

Hmmm....another Eros title and just by looking at the shots it appears better than DDD or LAK... really???

I guess only time will tell once one of us gets the BD. I have done a screenshot review this time.

The Good

1. No black level issue like DDD or LAK. this is a huge improvement although should be a standard anyway. Good that Eros got it right this time.
2. Colors look close to what it should be.

The Bad (I hate to report this but there are a few)

1. They have used DNR resulting in waxy faces
2. There is a hint of stronger 'Green' in the encode. This was visible in the DVD version and I thought it would get fixed in the BD but the BD seems to have it. Look for dark grey and blackish areas of the image in full view mode and you will see what I mean.

The Ugly (I hate to report this but there are a few)

1. Image appears soft and some detail is lost due to DNR and loss of natural grain.
2. White peaking in high contrast scenes or objects that are brightly lit. Hallows and white crush. I have marked portions of two screenshots below showing the problem. Open the image in full and you can see.
   

Overall from screenshots, looks like a decent transfer if we consider Eros's last few BDs but there are some issues. I would like the Bollywwod BDs to strive for the best and not settle for mediocre or better than average releases. The format allows to excel in PQ and AQ and that should be the goal.

Look forward to the actual BD and review from other members. I hope the actual BD to be better than some screenshots posted here.

Peace

Someone at the zulm forumes posted these screenshots from the Indian DVD, claiming the Blu-Ray image is far too bright:

Anyone has watched it instead of commenting on screen shots please. Thanks.

To Bollywoodblu-ray,

Lots of titles still missing from Blu-ray.com db. Please update and add them with art cover.

Another average release from EROS. The picture is soft for the most part. NOT RECOMMENDED!

EDIT: Eros BDs are plagued with the same authoring issues. I decided to tweak the BDP settings: Changing the settings to RGB and Video mode. Voila! Same problem as LAK BD.
