New Delhi, Yash Raj Films (YRF) have released their 11 films on Blue-ray disc to give consumers an experience of high definition viewing through the cutting edge technology format.
The studio has released “New York”, “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”, “Dostana”, “Bachna Ae Haseeno”, “Chak De! India”, “Dhoom: 2″, “Fanaa”, “Veer-Zaara”, “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge”, “Silsila” and “Kabhie Kabhie” on the Blue-ray disc.
YRF had also collaborated with Philips and the Blu-ray Disc of “New York” was available exclusively with Philips Blu-ray Players in India for the first three months. But now it is available everywhere.
The 11 films on Blue-ray disc are available in Music World, Planet M, Rhythm House (Mumbai), Landmark, and Crossword in India. These have also been released in the US, Britain, UAE and other countries.
This is a good sign and shows promise of moving forward for Bollywood. However the question still remains. Is there anything that Bollywood produces that is actually worth watching in high definition? All that ever seems to pour out of Bollywood is one love story after another which is hardly what the HD standard was created for.
