New York Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Presented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Kabir Khan’s New York arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Indian distributors Yash Raj Films.

Here's an Indian distributor that is undoubtedly on the right track as far as transferring Indian films on Blu-ray is concerned. Sure, there are a couple of issues with the presentation of New York, but for a start, this is definitely a disc that gives me a lot of hope that we would see some great Blu-ray releases from Yash Raj Films in the future.

The daylight scenes in New York look quite good. Detail ranges from good to very good to excellent, clarity is pleasing and contrast rather impressive. The color-scheme is also satisfying - reds, blues, yellows, greens, blacks and whites are lush and well saturated. During many of the nighttime scenes, however, digital noise is rather easy to spot. Mild edge-enhancement is also present during selected scenes (for example, take a look at the scene where Maya confesses to Omar that she is in love with Samir while wandering around the NYSU campus).On a positive side, when blown through a digital projector, the transfer does not reveal any stability issues. Finally, aside from a few minor specks, New York looks remarkably healthy.

I would like to quickly note that I noticed a couple of watermarks with the Yash Raj Films logo that popped up on my screen while I was watching New York. I wasn't disturbed by their presence - they appeared for only a couple of seconds - but you should be aware that they exist.

(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).


New York Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


There are three audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: Hindi DTS 5.1, Hindi Dolby Digital 5.1, and Hindi Dolby Digital 2.0. For the record, the Indian distributors have provided optional English, Arabic, Tamil and Telugu subtitles for the main feature. When turned on, they appear outside of the image frame.

It is a bit disappointing to see that Yash Raj Films have not provided a loseless audio track for New York as there is plenty of footage in the film that would have benefited tremendously from it (the lovely music certainly would have benefited a lot). This said, I opted for the Hindi (with a mix of English) DTS 5.1 track, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed with it. This is a fairly aggressive audio track, with strong bass and good surround activity. The dialog is also crisp, clear and very easy to follow. Still, I do believe that a loseless track of some sort would have been great to have.
