Just seen: Dev D

Just saw Dev D- am entirely satisfied by it.
For the record, I had never seen a Devdas movie from start to finish before this, because I am really bad at handling tragedies, and this Devdas gave me the conclusion I have always wanted!

More on Devdas later- I need to sleep over it and internalize it some more. Until then, I need to share the new-found affection I have for The Twilight Players featured in the movie.
Love 'em!

Darshit: Yeah I dont understand the -ve reviews :S The Players were SO cute - I wish they had been there through the entire movie.

Nikki: It was really good- I want to watch it again already :)

FilmiGirl: I cant beleive some of my friends in India appear not to like it the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the soundtrack is great on its own, but works even better in the movie.

Really? You saw a Devdas movie whose ending you liked? Okay, after this and Darshit's review I'm definitely gonna check it out. Eventually.

Ajnabi: Would you beleive it! I've never met a Devdas I liked enough to sit through the requisite 3 hours- but this one I wanna rewatch asap.

Nida: It is a hard movie- but so so good- I am just obsessed so a flawed reviewer :D

Bollyfan: I know the marketing turned you off, but my friend you will like this. You know how much you love/obsess over Lagaan? This is my Lagaan :D

Bollyfan: It cam thru it did! :D But that musnt stop this discussion! Also, keep in mind this is MY lagaan, not comparing it to your Lagaan :P You may not identify with it at all, and that's ok too :) That said, I honestly beleive the movie is very representative of my generation. Dang I want to watch it again now- but gotta go work :(
