What do you hate about SLB's style of filmmaking? - Page 2

I think the ques shud be otherway around...As in what you like about SLB films 😆 The only thing I love about his movies are the lavish sets, costumes and the gorgeous frames he creates. And the thing I hate the most about his movies is that he exaggerates the emotion of love too much. His movies are tragic, dark and miles away from reality.

Personally I LOVE the tragic endings to his films. They're so gripping. I still remember sitting in the cinema watching Devdas and that final scene with Paro running towards Dev and the epic background music, still gives me chills.

I like only end part of his movies minus hddcs... other than dat i dislike everythng!D

Except for HDDCS and BM, all SLB movies are trash. I couldn't even sit through Devdas. What an insult to my senses.

I loved Khamoshi and Black but absolutely adore BM.

I always found Shakespeare pretentious and boring and in most cases hard to understand.

I feel SLB is Bollywoods Shakespeare kind of.

Its not that i dont like historicals or mythology..or period films. Zubeida was lovely. as was Junoon (Shashi Kapoor, nafisa Ali).

But i could not sit thru a Saawariya or that Hrithik Ash film and i was itching to get up during parts of Devdas.

He focuses on set design and look more than on content - that his biggest flaw. His films are good to look at but absolutely meaningless. In BM there was a little story which was good. But Sawariya, Ram Leela just pathetic. There was no story per e. He should focus more on content.
