(1) How much do you rate the movie on 10?

5/10

(2) Do you think if some other actors would have been on SRK, Aish and madhuri's place then they would have been able to carry of the character so well?

The characters were well chosen. Though I felt that Madhuri Dixit looked old and heavier to play Chandramukhi when compared to Vyjayantimala in older version of Devdas. In the face off between Ash & Madhuri in Dola Re, Ash clearly was way ahead. Still Madhuri being a fine actor that she is, etched her part very well.

(3) What was the thing about the movie that you liked the most?

The chemistry between Ash and SRK. I thought Ash was perfect for the role and loved her performance to the T. The songs were melodious.

(4) Any specific scene that made you emotional

The movie was overdramatic so I didn't feel any emotions. It was boring most times.

(5) What was the thing about the movie which you didn't like?

I didn't like the treatment the whole movie got from the director. Too much of anything is distasteful and Devdas was one such movie which went overboard in every aspect. One of the worst movies of SLB and most overrated movie of that year because it won some awards for SLB which he didn't deserve.

(6) Your comments on the costumes

Some good but most times there was just too much

(7) A thing you would like to change about the movie

Keeping the same characters I would prefer a subtle version where emotions took centerstage rather than melodrama and gaudy costumes.

(8) Rate the acting of the following actors on 10 –

Shahrukh Khan – 7 /10

Aishwarya Rai - 8/10

Madhuri Dixit - 6/10

Jackie Shroff – 6/10

Kirron Kher- 5/10

(9) Your favourite dialogue from the movie-

N/A

(10) Which song you liked the most –

Bairi Piya

(11) Whom you liked the most in the film- Paro or Chandramukhi? Please specify the reason

Paro because her character was clearly etched and Ash just got into the skin of the character as the immature lover who just loved the idea of being in love. Chandramukhi's character was lacking somewhere as Madhuri had lost her charm. She looked jaded in front of bright looking Ash.

(12) Do you think the death of Devdas was the best option, what if he remained alive.

I would go with the actual story. Devdas the alcoholic that he was, would have died of Cirrhosis sooner.

(13) Do you think its one of the best films of Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

Worst film by SLB till date.
