Seldom Gets Better Than This.......

Akira Kurosawa - 5 DVDs together at this price!!!!!! Nothing can get better than this. I actually got them a month back from Flipkart even cheaper.....just 600 bucks.

But that hardly matters...for the aficionados price has seldom been an issue. People would willingly shell out double the original price for this gem of a collection.

As usual superb Flipkart service......handed over to me in 2 days flat. Packed with great care....elements-proof....everything in perfect order. Great work and thanks really.

Enlighten does a great job with the prints. Quite clear video with decent audio. From what I have seen of the original prints elsewhere, these digitally remastered prints are much better. Audio fluctuates very occasionally but I guess that's acceptable compared to the original prints or what's left of them. However there's a better digitally remastered Blue-ray version (and it's DVD copy) of "Seven Samurai" available on Flipkart itself which is better than the one in this box.

Overall a great tribute compilation...won't go to the length of discussing the legendary Kurosawa here, that's best left to the viewers. Excellent overall quality of the entire set and needless to say excellent competitive pricing by Flipkart.

Amazing stuff....get this and make this your own. You won't regret it.

Amazing Collection

The first movie I've picked from box-set is 'Seven Samurai' (with a little help from Wikipedia after the director's bio). What a CLASSIC it is. Though we need a lot of patience & time, still this movie deserves a place in every movie-buffs heart. Kikuchiyo is my fav from this movie. I like his madness. Eager to watch other 4 movies.

Thank you Flipkart for delivering the goods on time as usual. You guys are rocking!
