My biggest Indian viewing movie moment was DEVDAS w/Ash, Madhuri, and Shahrukh Khan. Okay I sat through 1.5 hr and thought "oh how sad, we've past the climax and soon it will be over." Ummm NO!!! It went on for another agonizing 1.5 hr.
I was so sick of Khan's character drinking himself over Ash. Hello? It was his fault but the loser pines over her because OMG she ends up with someone else. He dumped her. What did he expect? She would stand in the wings loving him from a distance..... chaste till old age loving him spiritually and eternally? Get real, Devdas (Khan). Then beautiful Madhuri loves him but he doesn't care. My God, this is Madhuri Dixit. She's gorgeous and loves him but no!! No!!! Devdas is so stupid. I wanted DEVDAS to die. I didn't want Devdas to die in the 1.5 hour but my goodness after 3 hours of torture, I was so happy when Devdas died because it meant the movie was over. I had no pity for his character....no pity. He could have had Ash or Madhuri.
