Any specs for Lagaan? (1 Viewer)

[David Ely]

I can't express in words how happy I am that Columbia is releasing Lagaan as a region 1 DVD on Jan 22nd!!!

Has any information about this disk been released? Do we know if it will feature a DD5.1 track? Any extras?

Any information about this release is greatly appreciated!

Amazon actually has this listed and is taking pre-orders on it for a January 22nd 2002 release.
Also DVDAngle had this info:

I'm trying to update some info on Indian DVDs on my post - 101 Guide to Asian Cinema, so that we have a good resource for this.
Running time for the Region 1 DVD release of Lagaan is listed at 225 mins, plus deleted scenes. Apparently in India it ran for 4 hours!
Thanks,
Jim
