Better than Shemaroo though cuz they dont cut stuff. It's tough but try to find something better than those two. I've found adlabs to be good too. Ironically they are called adlabs but there's no ads. actually, not Eros, they suck too. Better than Shemaroo though cuz they dont cut stuff.

Rahman's first hit soundtracks, the amazing choreography that was fresh and new to Indian cinema (if you didn't watch it when it first released you probably won't see it the same way), and it helped boost RGV's early career. There were things in this direction that influenced some future hindi films. Also, it launched Urmila... she acted amazing for a new comer. The story was simple, but everything was put together with such skill for a hindi film. Why is Urmila so sexy? It's not the bod and the clothing she gets, it's how she's directed and how she acts that makes her more sexy than any other actress in hindi cinema to date. RGV's direction and her sexy acting go hand in hand. Just look at her facial expressions... they come off subtle and sweet yet hot, unlike the insane faces Kareena makes to try to make an explosion (yet often comes out more like a fart). Top that off with Urmila's voice... aye hai hai kya ladki hai, yaar... Also SHEMAROO SUCKS. It takes the liberty to censor and cut out scenes on their own. Especially RGV movies where RGV's staple of above average editing for a hindi film gets ruined because Shemaroo decides to re-edit some scenes. Go with Eros or something.

Although since about a year ago, they've started including a massive on-screen logo throughout the entire film that's annoying to no end. Usually, yes.

It's a mystery to me. I thought it was just ok. I liked Aamir's performance a lot, but other than that I just thought it was too many not-great songs, way too much pouting and posing by Urmila, and just an ok movie. In fact, a tad boring. On dvds, is it fair to say that Shemaroo usually produces the best versions? I don’t get why ‘Rangeela’ is so praised and adored. It’s a mystery to me. I thought it was just ok.
