Well... I thought this movie was awesome but I heard people groaning in the movie theater because there were too many songs or that it was too long.. First of all its a Indian movie so its going to be long it was 3 hours which is not that far from all the other Indian movies that run 2 to 2 and half hours... also its only recently that Indian movies have become so short if u look back to the movies in the 80s and even 90s they all average close to 4 hours long!! As for the songs... People it's an Indian movie there are going to be songs! Furthermore it's a movie about a poet/courtesan... um how else are you supposed to express the art of her words or her profession? Another thing is I think most Indians these days like the poor Indian versions of American movies... This movie lacked the random "it's the time to disco" or "where the party at is" one liner lyrics in its songs. It also didn't have a bunch of foreign people dancing naked in the back drop.. Sad
