Although the DVD can't provide all the romp of a London theatre visit it does provide an array of special features. There are backstage scenes and talks with the cast. Whether you have seen it performed live or not this DVD has alot to offer. A friend of mine who had not seen the live performance was quite disapointed that there were no lyrics included in the DVD booklet. This mean that sometimes translation was needed but he did confess that the DVD world still have worked as odd words needed translating.
As a bollywood fan there was nothing new about the storyline or the style of songs. But A. R. Rahman is incapable of failing to ignite the listners imagination with his haunting music. The wonderful incorporation of classical raga's are beautiful to listen to. The performances by the cast are superb and work extreamly well on DVD.
The DVD allows you to enjoy this truly ground breaking music of Bollywood Dreams whenever you like.I would highly recommend this product.
