Let me guess, they still haven't let go of their practice of putting 2 discs in a sigle disc case have they?

[Bollywood Blu-ray]

Two discs is a good idea, but that is not what the issue is. The issue is YRF not using double disc cases and instead putting the 2nd disc (special features) in a seperate paper sleeve. It is very unprofessional and totally unbecoming and unexpected for a company as reputed as YRF, to being doing this. As a matter of fact this would be unbecoming of any company, whatever status they may be of.

@bollyblu,

Thanks for the artwork, just curious why there's watermark on the images? Hehehehe

Well, the sleeve in Dil To Pagal Hai looked okay to me. It wasn't cheap paper. It was a cardboard sleeve fully designed to suit the BD. If they do THAT, I won't hate it. But yeah, why not just use double-disc cases? They're already using the bigger cases anyway.

That is the other thing I don't understand is why they have to use the FAT and ugly case and not the industry standard case for Blu-rays.

Any idea, if we are getting AAJA NACHLE soon?

But don't the YRF BDs come in the same size cases as Disney BDs?

they use the same size ones as is standard in the UK. I prefer them to the thin ones. The thin ones remind me of fakes DVDs from Pakistan... but thats just me.

Let me guess - located in America?

Define "industry standard"! In general the UK use the "fat" amaray and similar, Australia use the "fat" amaray and similar, US uses "thin" amaray and similar, Germany use the "fat" amaray and similar and so on. I think you will find no "industry standard"!

Each market uses an appropriate case for their needs: the US use the thin versions as their security devices are small, inside the case, with security labels on the edges. Australia uses the magnetic red tag security system in general so uses the thicker case as it accommodates the red tag. No doubt other countries choose an appropriate version based upon the normal security systems used in that country.

I don't really think it matters what size case they choose. A large portion of my BD collection are Disney movies, and their combo packs (BD + DVD + Digital Copy) typically come in the thicker cases. But I do agree that they shouldn't put the bonus discs in paper sleeves. I do have one question though about the digital copy. Almost every new Hollywood release now comes with a digital copy, so I can easily download those movies on iTunes and watch them on my iPod. When, if ever, can we expect digital copies for Bollywood movies?

Keeping my Hope Up for Aaja Nachle!!!

[singh93]

also waiting for aaja nachle! will yrf be releasing kuch kuch hota hai or do they no longer have the rights?

[Munciple]

+1 for Aaja Nachle on blu ray! I hope yash raj release this next!!

[Happy_Evil_Dude]

I don't see them rushing to release Aaja Nachle. Instead, I imagine the next catalog releases to be Bunty Aur Babli, Chandni, Dhoom, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Mohabbatein, Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Tashan and Trishul.

[kskies2]

Hm, I really think they need to do a songs BD with all their popular songs. I like the songs for movies like Aaja Nachle, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Tashan more than the actual movies.

I have no idea... because they're already so against piracy that I don't see them embracing it. They might just think it's too easy to 'steal'. I'm just imagining that's what they would think. But I don't even know if they're considering it an option.

Anyway, I'm also all for Aaja Nachle. Really want to see that out.

Not that I'm an expert on these things, but I don't think the digital copies would actually increase piracy, which already exists in Bollywood on a large scale. For one thing, every Indian movie's ripped DVD and Blu-ray video are already available on forums and torrents as soon as they're released. Also, there are software programs to easily transfer movies from DVDs to iPods, but this process seems unnecessary now that digital copies are available. I've heard that digital copies can only be accessed by the user of the iTunes account who chooses to download the movie, on up to 5 computers. If he or she deletes his account, the movies become unplayable. The digital copy codes are redeemable usually only within a year or two of the BD's release. And if someone somehow is able to unlock the digital copy, I don't see how people would prefer that over the DVD/BD rips (digital copies aren't great quality) and it certainly wouldn't affect the current piracy. In my opinion, it's an added bonus that would compel people to buy the BD sooner than later, before the codes do expire eventually. On the contrary, digital copies eliminate the need for piracy, because many people want to keep movies on portable devices to watch on the go and, with this, they wouldn't need to embrace illegal sources to download the movies.
