Barfi - Vedalam sonna kadai (Vikram aur Betal for my non-tamil friends)
Long time ago, there lived a simpleton thief (an oxymoron I guess, if so, intentional) who was deaf and dumb. He chanced to meet the princess of the land and was feel for her beauty. Little did the thief know that the princess was engaged to the lord of the land. The princess without her knowledge begins to like the simpleton thief's way of life and falls for him as well. The queen, the princess's mother, then narrates the story of her love with a commoner and how she had forgone the love to marry the king. The princess goes ahead and marries the lord, while still in love with the simpleton. The heartbroken simpleton, then meets a mentally challenged (apologies if I am not politically correct) and slowly but surely falls in love with her. He even introduces her to the princess, who secretly still pines for him. There creeps jealousy into the mind of the new lover and she runs away to her asylum. The simpleton searches the whole world and finally locates her there. They get married and live happily ever after. The princess, on the other hand, had to leave her lord, since he would not accept her once she stepped out to help the simpleton thief in search for his love. After very many years, the simpleton thief is taken ill and eventually both him and his wife die at the same time. The princess, now a sad old lady, pines for the love and life that she must have actually led, had she married the simpleton thief in the first place.
Now tell me Vikramaditya, whose love was the greatest. The simpleton thief's toward the challenged girl? The challenged girls toward the simpleton thief? or that of the Princess toward the simpleton thief?
