      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    In Bombay, 1993, Aman disappears during devastating riots, while his sister and mother watch from their balcony. Years later, Fiza (Kapoor) is still searching for her beloved brother. Though chances of finding him alive are grim, she does not give up hope. The music adds emotion to the storytelling. Includes a making-of featurette with interviews and excerpts from a press conference. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.55:1 DVD exhibits a very colorful picture, with hues that are well balanced. Fleshtones exhibit accurate saturation, and the bluish blacks are generally deep throughout. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, and clarity and depth are quite impressive. There is some loss of detail attributable to noise reduction, but overall the picture is quite solid, with limited edge enhancement. The source element is revealing of a few major artifacts, and occasionally the negative splices are noticed at the top of the picture. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #35 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    While on vacation at my uncle's house, I was introduced to WSR. My instinct told me it was just another A/V magazine. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down, and I knew this was a keeper. The number one question I receive at work is which is the best sounding movie. With the help of your movie reviews, I now have people calling my cell just to find out which new release sounds the best. Your reviews are always on target! Your product reviews have increased my knowledge beyond expectations. I know that when someone asks me about a new product on the market, all I have to do is wait for my next issue to show up. Your philosophy on sound systems has totally changed the way I go about selling and setting up surround sound systems in my customer’s houses. Thanks to WSR I've been able to increase my sales, knowledge, and gain customer satisfaction. In my pursuit for sound perfection WSR is one of my valued assets.
