how is the blu-ray transfer for this movie?

@forgottenmemories63 Yes, forgive but never forget.

@Laoch111 I'm an Indian and this might come as a surprise to you buy I rather prefer the old folk who accepted this fact than some new generation of Indians who go around hating the British.

We Indians never hated anyone, We just fought for respect and a Nation for ourselves. Once we got our Freedom, we extended our friendship to Britain to be one among the Commonwealth.

We humans should learn to live in Peace and Tolerance, This is what surely even Gandhi would have loved to see.

@forgottenmemories63 Yes, and hitler helped get Volkswagen started but we certainly would not sing his praises. The evils of the british empire was unbelievable - they slaughtered countless people.

@Laoch111 "Why the hell was that horrible anthem being played at the end?"

Because the then Indians were Proud to belong to the British Empire. Just because British treated Indians bad doesn't mean they shouldn't be appreciated with the things they helped India with.

For example, British introduced The Postal System, Roads, Schools, Railroad system, Automobiles and new Technologies in India which was very much appreciated by the then Indians with absolutely no prejudice.

Mass civil disobedience is a very powerful tool.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948). Today is the 64th anniversary of his death.

My favorite Gandhi quote: "We must become the change we want to see in the world."

The british governments foreign policy was evil. Just look at how the Irish & Indians were treated. Shame on the brits.

Why the hell was that horrible anthem being played at the end?

@kalinga01 you have clearly not listened to him if you believe a statement to possibly be unquestionable.
