I got my copy today ..its a great treat. Of course a lot of disappointment abt the lack of many behind the scenes stuff though. It is the movie itself in the 1st disc and 2nd disc (first half and 2nd half)..of course is real good quality! The DVD 3 is what is special! *Historical References *The Director's Interview *Cast and Crew *Theatrical Trailor *TV Promos *Cast & Crew Speak **DELETED SCENES (10 Nos)* And whats great abt the 10 deleted scenes is that they all have BGM by ARR and some of them fresh and unused elsewhere in the movie! A deleted scene "Farewell to Jodha" has a good rajasthani type traditional song sung by a familar voice. A lovely long scene "How many birds in my kingdom" is the one where a noble man Mahesh Das impresses Akbar with his wits, arguing over Akbar who was trying to hunt some birds. And guess what... there is another scene too where Mahesh Das impresses the Majesty again and thereby gets renamed by the Highness as BirBal, the name we know him by ! Another touching scene is the death of Maham Anga after she regrets and corrects herself about Jodha, with a choral humm dominatin in the BGM. About ARR on the DVD (Cast and Crew Description) A. R.

About Rahman by Hritik Its awesome the way Hritik talks about the music of JA in the dvd's "Cast and Crew Speak" section. As if someone askd him "Hows the music?", he says "its Rahman.....(smiles) Its Rahmaan!!...again smiles .."Hows the music? Its Rahmaan" (smiles) "You dont need to say anything else..He's just.....mind blowing.. I cant think of complimentary words for Rahman's kind of talent. I mean, its embarassing." "Azeem o Shaan was the 1st track that I heard. it ubconsciously inevitably bcame the theme of Jalal in my head. Posted by ANISH -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always
