OMG this is the first time I saw the new Devdas's ending and it was so good...dramatic but good...SRK-Aish nailed it...It is really difficult to compare it with the old one because everything was so artificial back then...I mean today's dialogue delivery is more natural/...and the actress was not able to emote properly for whatever reason...So definitely I like the new one better...

Lol whaaat? I find it hard to believe that you've never watched it. 😆 SRK is just amazing in some scenes.. You need to give the whole film a chance, much better than the junk of today. 😃

The general trend is to bash everything and everyone old. Like some people had called Amitabh and Rekha "not much of actors".

Nobody calls Amitabh or Rekha bad actors. At least not on this forum.

I didn't 'concede' Devdas as the greatest ever and you don't even know whether I've watched the older version but you make that ignorant statement.

Never said new films aren't trashed. Just said it's better than most films of today and that such films are not released every Friday. That's just my opinion and you're free to disagree, but no let's comment on the idiosyncrasies of the member than the topic.

Well I just commented on basis of what I see in forums.

lol...I tried watching it twice for Shahrukh but couldn't go past the first half hour...there is too much drama and crying ...😆...but the ending looks really good..

Oh okay 😆 The impact of the last scene would be much more once you've known the characters because you'll understand their feelings and probably empathize with them too. It is even more tragic then. I suggest you watch the whole film in one go. The film is about passionate love and what ego does to lovers and how it screws their lives. SLB is an artist. He shows it so damn well.

I'd say Dilip Kumar was a much better Devdas than SRK. BUT both Aishwarya and Madhuri were better than Suchitra and Vyjayantimala as Paro/Chandramukhi!

I personally think Devdas is one of the weakest written male characters ever . Anurag Kashyap's Dev D had the best ending for the story

Ham was forbidden in Mumbai before 1992.
