I got my copy from IndiaWeekly.com - they claim that they only stock the Spark version, but it’s actually only the Elite disc they sell. There’s also lots of copies available from international eBay sellers. I recommend the H2Bcom store - they’re very reliable.

Hey Good review, just want to know, where did you get the Elite version of DCH. I have the spark version, and seen comparisons between them and the Elite, and the Elite version is soo much better. Please could someone provide a link to where you can get this version.

Many thanks

I’m reminded by reading your piece that despite loving it thoroughly I haven’t watched Dil Chahta Hai in almost a year. It’s definitely time for a revisit - and now that I’ve seen a bunch more movies, I expect this to stand out even more. I saw this and Taal very early on in my Bollywood-watching and I have been completely in love with Akshaye Khanna ever since (and of course none of his other roles that I’ve seen have measured up…).

Typo - I meant Old One (as in Old Don)

Ah I pretty much don’t like SRK but I loved the new Don (btw I think the old man is pretty much cack - I’m sorry, have to be honest) if it weren’t for its OST! P.S. U know anything about this new Don (3 disk) Steelbook release in India? and how it compares to the UK release?

Thanks for the comments, Daddy’s Girl.

There’s definitely divided opinion on the new Don. I am actually a big SRK fan and I thought his performance was decent, but the film itself just did nothing for me sadly. Maybe the original ‘78 version with the Big B is so ingrained in me that I just couldn’t enjoy the remake properly. I’m planning a detailed review for its DVD release soon over at DVDTimes.co.uk, so hopefully I’ll enjoy a repeated viewing a little more.

Thumbs up also for your blog, by the way. Love all the screencaps.

Okay, while I am kinda mad at you for calling ‘Don’ (2006) ‘pointless’ (I found it not just an update, but a very different movie from the 1978 one), ‘uninspired’ (come on!! it’s so cool and stylish!!) and ‘dull’ (hello?? SRK all bad and sexy?? - but then again, that’s quite possibly not your cup of tea), I really enjoyed this review.

I am not as in love with DCH as everyone else seems to be, but I did enjoy it very much, and it did go in a fresh direction while remaning very ‘commercial’.

I am really liking your site, BTW - was led here by Carla. Thanks very much for all the DVD tips.
