Pakeezah (1972) BR fr Leomark USA - Screenshots

[Dragun]

A streaming service in the US called Hoopla has the Indian films Leomark has licensed. Hoopla is available through some public library systems. The streaming versions are a good indicator of the overall quality, though the encoding on the Blu-Rays might be better. I watched Pakeezah the other night, and sure enough it looks terrible. It does not even look like HD. Tons of DNR, and the optical shots look like they were DNRed even more heavily. The only saving grace was finally being able to see it in it's full CinemaScope aspect ratio.
