Visually, the X264 encode at 360p gives the film a grainy, analog warmth. Far from detracting, that texture becomes part of the film’s aesthetic: colors are muted, faces are framed close, and the imperfect clarity invites you to fill in details, to lean in. The soundtrack favors local sounds over sweeping score — temple bells, the clack of rikshaw tires, distant bargaining — which reinforces the film’s grounded, lived-in atmosphere.
