Apparently the UHD has the censored audio with the Bagavad Gita chant removed. Shame, as the release claims to have the “original theatrical 5.1 surround soundtrack remastered from the 35mm magnetic track”. Oh well.
I await some caps and comps.
The chant was removed during the theatrical run. There’s 2 versions of the cinema DTS tracks, one with and one without. So technically, they’re not lying.
True, it’s not completely false advertising because for a lot of people the censored one is the “original”. However, it’s not the ORIGINAL original track, it’s the original REVISED track. Obviously, Criterion would never say that outright, but it would’ve been nice to finally have it on home video. I wonder if (outside the discs) the true original mix no longer exists, and all they have is the revised one. The Cinephiles remux includes the uncensored CDTS mix, so at least there’s that.
