All’s well that ends well……

I was watching some movie other day. So for 1.56.00/ 2.00.00 minutes I kept on saying to myself…..I liked the movie…..Nice one...….I enjoyed it. But after watching last 4 minutes- my reaction was – Ohhh crap!! Stupid foolish movie. Hated it totally.

Then I was thinking – what exactly changed my reaction. The reason, I realized was – that love story wasn’t a happy ending one. That couple breaks up – which is shown as 'few years later’ in last 4 minutes.

I am a total movie buff. I watch hundreds of movies irrespective of actors/story/director….any thing. Infact recently I have watched many non Hindi n non English movies too. But I could not believe I am still so immature. I mean how come I judge a movie on its ending. And it has to be very happy ending – like couple getting married or villain dead or Hero wins etc etc.

I tried to remember all the non conventional ending movies which I adored….say –
QSQT
Schindler’s List
Page 3
Sholay
Corporate
RDB
Goodfellas
Leon

But then I would have never liked JJWS …if Aamir doesn’t win the race, I would have never watched HAHK again…if Salmaan – Madhuri doesn’t get married. Or Rangeela with alternative ending.

So I am confused…as always….may be I just don’t want Love stories with unhappy endings! I am of a typical Bollywood mentality!!
