Review: Hard hitting, shocking and incredibly powerful (LoveHKfilm.com, )
Advantages: It rocks Disadvantages: You want it to keep going when it finishes
...The main advantage of having a DVD over a VHS is that it comes with the extra features. This DVD has tons of them. There are loads of documentaries, bios, storyboards etc. Even the addition of a DVD-ROM special section where you can access the website on the disc, and play a game (which is a quiz to see how well you know the film) Also the picture quality is amazing, with the standard selection of scenes on offer.
Another advantage is that the film itself is amazing. What a great story, its all there, and from 2 unknown directors it is class. If you havent seen it then you must. This film can be watched over and over and over again....

Advantages: This item is cheep and I did recognise some songs. Disadvantages: virtually full of unknown songs by newcommers, the songs are as cheep as the price.
...As a bollywood fanatic I was excited about this DVD and the opportunity to watch my favorite stars dancing in the rain.
The very basic that one would expect from this DVD is that the songs and actors are recognizable. Unfortunately this was not the case. The DVD consists of a horrendous medley of obscure unknowns doing their best Amitabh Bachan or Ashwaria impressions and failing. This DVD ignites no spark and is categorically dull. The price would have been its only redeeming feature but alas the songs on it are cheaper than the price!
Perhaps if you are a collector of obscure Hindi songs made in 2003 performed by newcomers with little experience or appeal then this DVD is for you. Otherwise I suggest you stay well clear. I would pay good money not watch this again, please don't make the same mistake....

...Final Destination has an explosive start and manages to maintain the suspense throughout the film. The film has a couple of the finest death scenes seen at the big screen in recent years.
The actors are relatively unknown, which leaves the audience guessing as to who is next. The special effects are state of the art, the acting is good, and some scenes will really make you jump.
The idea behind the movie is novel, a welcome change from recent hollywood rehashes.
This is a must see movie and a real gem for fans of the genre....
