LOC: Kargil (2003, 4 hours, 15 minutes)
After the success of JP Dutta's Border, most actors were dying to work with the patriotic director, and every star son in the industry readily signed on for this mammoth effort to document the Kargil battle.
The length: In an effort to give each cast member a back story, LOC:Kargil became a tedious, song-filled production with no real highlight -- except the dubious distinction of being the longest Hindi film ever. We say 'dubious' because it made every minute seem longer.
