Notes:Region 1/3/4 encoded. No "Songs" menu on disc. The print used has minor blemishes at a couple of places.
At 1:25:00 there appears to be a background dialogue/voiceover (spoken by the "story narrator Amitabh Bachchan") missing. This is evident from the fact that subtitles are present for what the narrator may have said.
Also available inside the R3 Korea "Bollywood Package", with "Mission Kashmir". -

OVERALL: R0
The 3-disc Special Limited edition is easily the best release available.
There are a few unconfirmed reports that because the R1 has only allowed this film one disc, there are compression artifact problems. But DVD Beaver reported (please see the link from below): "Well I'll be darned if I can find too much difference between these two editions. If anything the Region 2/4 is slightly hazier and slightly saturated".
Those who can sit still for 225 minutes may still prefer the R1 edition due to the uninterrupted playback.
