'Paan Singh Tomar' = Brilliant! An absolute must watch. - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

WOW!! Best scenes in HD looks great! Didn't get Blu-ray release, very disappointing.

PAAN SINGH TOMAR is an example of a solid good movie. Could've been great.

But definitely much better than overrated BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG which was just about average, long, hammy and bore.

I'll buy PAAN SINGH TOMAR in a heart beat if it becomes available on BluRay.

I still cannot believe that blu rays were authored but never actually sold.

prepress · 03-11-2015, 04:30 AM

^ Yeah, the clipping looks good and definitely deserve Blu-ray. It was announced but don't know what happened. May be the reason for canceling PST Blu-ray could be BMB release was close which represents proud of India and other side PST shows the corruption/bad image of Indian Government.

I would actually accept just general incompetency as a valid reason than what you suggest because that would be ridiculous but believable.

The next best thing.

It seems like it's not available in Indian iTunes store though.

prepress · 03-11-2015, 04:09 PM

@nitin: No offense, it was a general thought.

Actually Indian Film Industry do too much care for money and ONLY interested in which they believe it would be beneficial for them. Doesn't matter how important film is or how much attention any movie deserves. Am I too rude?

screw that. I want my Dolby TruHD advanced 96k upsampling with 1080p. Loved its background score here. Much much better than BMB background score.

prepress · 03-11-2015, 10:21 PM

I need mine too.

preress,

not offended at you but at the possibility of what you said to be true

I'm digging up this very old thread because such an incredible actor is sadly not doing well with his health. Hes admitted at Kokilaben Hospital, Mumbai. The cancer seems to have spread. Not sure how much time he has left...

This thread specifically because in my opinion this was his finest amongst his best.

Dude, NDTV, Mumbai Mirror and ET say he was admitted because of a colon infection. They only made a passing reference to his previous illness. There was NO mention of the cancer having relapsed/spread or of them not being sure "how much time he has left". Fan hokar itni jaldi Irrfan saab ko kabar mein mat pahuncha do.

thisgenius · 04-29-2020, 08:01 AM

His passing has been confirmed now.

News of his death floating around the internet now.

Thats how it works in India.

ravenus · 04-29-2020, 09:04 AM

Looks like I spoke too soon. While not one of my favorite actors (even in that particular gritty non-filmy filmstar niche, I preferred Nawazuddin), Irrfan put up some strong performances.

I first saw him in the early '90's in some of Govind Nihalani projects - he had a cameo as a classical singer in the Dimple Kapadia - Shekhar Kapur drama Drishti and played the lead in Jazeere, the Hindi teleplay of Henrik Isben's Little Eyolf. He also supported in the cult Pankaj Kapur film Ek Doctor ki Maut. Of course, Irrfan had earlier appeared in Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay!, but at the time I hadn't noticed him.

During his stardom phase, I liked the performances he gave in Maqbool (great chemistry with a fiery Tabu), Piku & Yeh Saali Zindagi (in which he revealed a lovely humorous side), Pan Singh Tomar (even if the film was ham-handedly scripted, becoming a standard dacoit drama in its second half), Qissa (very unusual film where he insists on raising his daughter as a boy, to the extent of marrying her off to another girl). One performance I admired of his, which many fans of his more prestigious roles may not be aware of is the role of a gigolo in the film Mr. 100% - The Real Player - the scene where he is talking about feeling ill and weak (his character dies of AIDS) is genuinely moving and transcends the film's exploitation territory.

He also did good supporting work in A Mighty Heart and Puzzle.

And he was outstanding on season 3 of In Treatment.
