Billu Barber (Blu-Ray) (Shahrukh Khan / Indian Cinema / Bollywood Film / Hindi Film) (2009)

This is an upconverted SD on blu ray. Buyers beware. Do not buy.

Shahrukh Khan is of course the main attraction for me in this movie, but the man who played Billu was very good and funny to watch. I loved the music and dancing. Lots of humor in this film. Hindi films are full of every kind of emotion. How can one movie make you laugh and cry at the same time? Hindi movies are my favorite to watch. I miss seeing musicals in U.S. films, and I have to go to Hindi movies to find what I want. Nice entertainment.

Blu-ray version The main characters are enjoyable, but most of the movie in general is just average.

The early part of the movie has a very contemporary/futuristic dance scene (seems out of place, but they explain it) with lots of young ladies in a variety of cool/skimpy outfits (average music).

The dance/music skit with Kareena Kapoor is GREAT (in the middle of the movie, it's the only scene that she is in). And the last 15 minutes of the movie are enjoyable (good ending).

The blu-ray version is definitely an improvement over the DVD quality (but the DVD looks good in most places). The other reviewer might be right that the overall PQ of this Blu-ray is not up to normal blu-ray specs (hard for me to be sure, I'm using a 2005 big-screen DLP TV).

The DVD is dual-layer with the same bonus material as the blu-ray ("making of" & deleted scenes), same 16x9 anamorphic aspect ratio, but the Blu-ray has the DTS audio option and is sharper.

I bought this because I am a Shah Rukh Khan fan. This film has a nice story of a barber who happened to be a childhood friend of someone who later became very famous (Shah Rukh Khan). I am a Shah Rukh Khan fan, so the parts of this film which had Shah Rukh Khan in it were pretty much what I was interested in watching. The musical numbers were good. This film is well worth buying if you are a fan of Shah Rukh Khan.
