Aradhana- EVP International

Picture

Excellent picture throughout the film. Few scratches and anomalies to be found. It looks like a thorough restoration has been done. Nice color saturation and no fading. Possibly one of the best Indian DVDs of an older film.

Sound

The sound quality is equal to that of the picture. The songs are much better than my CD. (As a side note, I compare the sound of the DVD to the CD, if I have it.) Just a little bit of hiss and a few pops in the background of the dialogue, but that is normal noise and is not at all distracting. Anyways, the noise is so low that you have to conciously listen for it to notice.

Menu/Extras

The menu is nice and has the jacket cover (I think) as the background picture. Like "Abhimaan" and possibly other EVP DVDs, the option to play "Songs Audio" is also present. There is also a "Coming Attractions" feature, which I assume to mean titles soon to come to DVD. This feature consists of two theatrical trailers, one for "Amar Prem" and one for "Mera Gaon Mera Desh."

Overall

A great disc all around. This one does not disappoint.
