The 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack has a fully immersive sound design with directional cues and occasional panning. That results in some of the cleanest imagery I’ve seen for an indie production made outside the Hollywood studio system. The Tiger Hunter has pristine cinematography and the transfer has been left unfiltered. The digital color grading favors rich yellows and a fully saturated palette. The high-bitrate AVC encode flawlessly renders every pixel of detail to perfection. Black levels are inky with real depth and texture. Filmed with Alexa cameras, the razor-sharp video has strong definition and an excellent contrast.
The tiger hunter review 1080p#
This is extremely crisp, vibrant 1080P video taken from a flawless Digital Intermediate. Shout Factory has chosen wisely releasing The Tiger Hunter on Blu-ray. The 93-minute main feature looks outstanding in this consistently gorgeous 2.35:1 presentation. It should especially resonate for Indian immigrants to America, albeit made with a slick Hollywood precision rarely seen in Bollywood fare. The topical comedy is a nice mix of romance and striving for the American Dream, infused with a gentle spirit and heart. There is genuine affection for these characters in its story, lightly poking fun at Indian and American cultural traditions alike.
