I sure as hell hope these screenshots are not a true reflection of the quality of the actual BD. For these, quite honestly are worse than a good quality DVD. The same goes for the screenshots of 'A Wednesday' and 'Fashion'. I suppose I should wait to see the actual BDs before passing final judgement. But, these screenshots surely do not look promising.

I, on the other hand, think the screen shots look quite good. Although it looks like they applied heavy DNR, making the skin tones look waxy. If there are no other issues like incorrect black levels that we've seen in many bollywood blu's, this may be a pretty decent transfer.

19 GB. Holy crap. What is MB going to do to the 30 GB saved? Seems to be as if MB is creating a platform to cram 3 movies in 1 disc...Nonsense (if its true).

MoserBaer, which ironically manufactures 'BD / DVD / CD' media as their primary business, in their infinite wisdom and for the sake of quality, specially since their Prices are so low, only "Rs. 799 = US $18" , decided that dual layered 50GB BDs would just be a total waste. After all, 25GB single layered BDs are more than enough for presenting, three of their most prized, 'catalog' titles, in glorious FULL HD on your shiny new projector and 120" screen.

Ofcourse when you try to fit a 159 min. movie in 19GB, it does not leave you room to put more than a '448kbps DD 5.1' audio track. But don't fret, after all you still have the awesome sounding '192 kbps DD 2.0' track to enjoy on your shining new HD Audio Receiver.

I think we can safely start the countdown for this to happen.

Yea if it is true...then its ridiculous. MB is making a mockery of the whole concept of Blu-Ray. Now I would love to hear from all those members here, who wanted that the producers & content providers be given an opportunity to be a part of this forum. What are they going to say about this pristine HQ Audio & Video & 14 GB of Blu-Ray content. I think all the Hollywood Studios should take inspiration from MB & start Cost Cutting measures. Because as someone commented in Fashion Blu-Ray thread about the quality as great, so if lengthy Bollywood movies can be presented in HQ in 14.5 GB, then DVD9 would be enough for Holly studios to present their material in pristine HQ quality. So they should altogether stop churning out Blu-Rays!

I don't even trust MB blank media. I knew I had no reason to believe MB would release a quality product. I guess I'll buy the DVD of Rann instead.

I sincerely hope you are joking. It's not 1st of April yet, is it?

PS: 'Race' has a running time of 159 minutes.
