...THIS IS THE FIRST BOLLYWOOD FILM TO BE RELEASE ON HIGH DEFINITION DVD AND THIS HDVD IS NOT RELEASED IN INDIA YET...
Dil Chahta Hai is going to be the first Indian movie in HD. Not sure how well it sells as Blu-Ray looks like will win the format far if any one format wins due to many new English titles flooding in that format. Some of the Blu-Ray titles will interest Indian population (Bond movies, Gandhi, etc) mostly and kids because of Disney/Pixar movies.

Some "pirates" claim to have obtained a HDDVD of the 2001 blockbuster Dil Chahta Hai. The page that lists this file have screenshots that compares a normal DVD9 to the supposed RiP of the original 26GB+ HDDVD, which seems true to how an HD image would look like.

For more, Google.


Damn Pirates ;)

Screenshots is not piracy. I would like to see some proof that there is in fact a Dil Chahta hai HD DVD. It would be the start of good things to come (India embracing HD finally?)

I think the Source was 1920x1080p cropped to 1200x490p. Seems like the Pirates have got the real deal.

I just dont undestand, when there are laptops with HD-DVD players and people with HDMI inputs in their LCDs & Plasmas. Why no info till now?why keep the customers in dark?

What's with the weird resolution and why is it still 26GB? Is it still not compressed to x264?

Yep. As soon as I get a large screen HDTV, I'm getting myself an HD DVD/Blu ray player (hopefully the dust will settle by then...).
