King(2008)
King (Nagarjuna) belongs to the royal dynasty of Coimbatore. He has a doting mother (Geetha) and a loving brother (Deepak). He has three brother-in-laws who are after the blood of the king in order to get a share in their property. In this scenario, King gets killed when he visits Dehradoon for a project work. Bottu Seenu (Nagarjuna) is a local mafia man in twin cities who does settlements. Gnaneswar (Srihari) is an innocent don of the city. Bottu Seenu falls in love with an aspiring singer Sravani (Trisha). But Sravani is of a soft type and she likes soft guys. Hence Bottu Seenu takes the avatar of a software engineer to impress her. The rest of the story is all about whether King is killed or not. For more about King and the King Blu-ray release, see the King Blu-ray Review King Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Srinu Vytla's King arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Indian distributors Bhavani. Fans of Telugu cinema will probably be impressed with this transfer, but casual viewers who have gotten used to the high quality transfers Hollywood studios deliver with their Blu-ray releases will likely end up being disappointed with it. There are two key issues with this transfer. First, flecks, scratches, cuts, and warps are practically everywhere. Second, there is simply too much edge-enhancement and contrast boosting. Additionally, the color-scheme is a bit shaky; often times blacks, blues, greens and reds can look very unnatural. The good news is that during specific scenes detail and clarity are actually pleasing. During a lot of the darker scenes, however, I noticed plenty of digital noise. Overall, King will probably be remembered for the fact that it was the first Telugu film to be released on Blu-ray, and not because it received an excellent high-definition transfer from Bhavani. (Note: This is a Region-Free Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you will be able to play it on your PS3 or SA regardless of your geographical location). King Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Telugu LPCM 5.1 and Telugu Dolby Digital 5.1. I opted for the Telugu LPCM 5.1 track and later on did a few random comparisons with the Telugu Dolby Digital 5.1 track for the purpose of this review. The audio treatment is substantially better than the video treatment. Many of the elaborate musical acts, for example, are rather impressive. Though there is nothing in them that would flex the muscles of your audio system - the surround activity, for example, is very limited - the dynamic levels are quite good. Additionally, there are no serious issues with the dialog; it is crisp and clear, and if you understand Telugu, easy to follow. The Telugu Dolby Digital 5.1 track is very anemic. I tested the exact same music scenes that made an impression on me when I viewed the film with the Telugu LPCM 5.1 track, and the dynamic levels are not even comparable. On the other hand, the dialog is still crisp and easy to follow. For the record, Bhavani have provided optional English subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame. King Blu-ray, News and UpdatesNo related news posts for King Blu-ray yet. King Blu-ray, Forum Discussions
