A cult classic indeed. It showed heartbreak and flawed characters in such a raw, real way. Kalki and Abhay were phenomenal. Hope the younger generation goes to see what real, unconventional cinema looks like.
While I love the movie, this trend of re-releases feels like a cash grab by theaters. Why not focus on getting new, original content on screens? We need fresh stories, not just nostalgia.
Saw this in college and it blew my mind. The modern take on Devdas was so bold. Definitely booking tickets for this one. It's a piece of Indian cinematic history.
Yaar, the music! Amit Trivedi is a genius. "Nayan Tarse" and "Pardesi" still give me chills. This is the kind of movie that makes you feel things deeply. Count me in for the show.
Interesting to see this trend continue. From a business perspective, it makes sense for theaters with gaps in new releases. For fans, it's a great chance to see a classic as intended - on the big screen.
