Yash has tried to pass on to his sons the values, heritage and traditions of their family. Nandini has different dreams for her sons. Dreams of love that she wanted both her sons to experience, more so Rahul as she shares a special bond with him. A bond that has been cultivated with love for a child that was never meant to be... a child who was adopted. Rahul's adoption was a secret never discussed in the Raichand household. Ever since Rahul found out at the age of 8 years, it became the reason for his unending gratitude for his parents- especially his father. His father's every wish became a command for him. A command which he never breaks until he falls in love with Anjali (Kajol)- a bubbly girl from Chandni Chowk, who dotes on her younger sister Pooja (Kareena Kapoor). Rahul marries Anjali and brings her home but his father doesn't approve of her. Rahul thus decides to leave home causing his mother's every waking moment to be spent eagerly awaiting his return. Seeing this the younger son Rohan makes a promise to reunite the family and bring back the happiness they once shared.

My Thoughts:
It was great to finally have a chance to see this movie with a good picture quality. It benefits a lot because of all the great and colorful dance numbers. This movie is one of the most well-known modern Bollywood productions. Deservingly so. Most Bollywood productions have song and dance numbers in it, but they usually are more or less thrown in. This movie is one of the few I would call a real musical. I had forgotten how much singing is in this one. Almost the complete movie is in songs. All of which further the story.
This is one of the longest Bollywood movies I own (only beaten by a few minutes by "What's Your Rashee", "Lagaan" and "Jodhaa Akbar"), but it never gets boring for a minute, even now after I watched it for the fourth time.
On Blu-ray I could enjoy it more than I did the DVD version, whose picture quality greatly suffered from having a 3.5 hour movie pressed on one DVD. I don't regret my first real Blu-ray double-dip. And as a bonus I have all the extras which were originally part of the two-disc DVD release (I only had the single-disc release).

My Thoughts:
Now this one I really enjoyed. Big plus here... Vincent Price is in this movie. It felt like the film really caught a stride and never stopped till it was over. No slow/boring parts here for me. Definitely a movie I feel I can recommend.

My Thoughts:
After the pilot I was not sure if this series will get above an okay series for me. As a matter of fact it took the whole first disc to convince me otherwise. But after the first few episodes I was hooked. I like how they integrate the music into the storylines. And I like the music choices for the most part.Also Jane Lynch is playing a great nemesis for the glee club as the coach of the chearleading team.
I couldn't resist ordering the second season now, even though I usually wait until the price drops to about half of what it currently is.
It's great that the Blu-ray has on each disc direct access to the songs (even with a play all feature).
