And so when a viewer connects with a character or his/her situation, its absolute misery and unfairness, tears well up in the eyes as a sign of support and sentiment, equivalent to an off-screen hug, soothing pat or comforting 'Don't worry.'
This is the closest you and I come to reaching out to some of the most heartbreaking moments in the movies. Since their fate is in the scriptwriter's hands alone, we choose to suffer by joining in the pain.
Here then is a look at 25 of Hindi cinema's saddest scenes. Hit the message board to post the ones that made you all blue.
Devdas
There was never going to be a happy ending to this one. One's arrogance, another's self respect leads to a fate neither Dev nor Paro had bargained for.
Bimal Roy's deft reproduction of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel and Dilip Kumar's overwhelming portrayal lends the alcoholic icon a tragic end but glorious place in the realm of cinema.
The scene where he breathes his last outside Paro's doorstep and the latter's horrific discovery of the same is written in such bleak taste, it unfailingly hurts.
