Not enough words can explain how well this movie was thought out and executed, from the amazing actors to the beautiful clothing and timeless music. Devdas tells an ageless story about love, sorrow and remorse, that forces the audience to experience an emotional roller-coaster. There is so much feeling and passion expressed by the characters, that it ultimately makes it difficult to love or hate any one of them; whether it is Devdas (Shahrukh Khan) who is drowning his sorrows, Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit) who yearns for her unrequited love, or Paro (Aishwarya Rai), who is bound by her unfortunate circumstances. The movie takes you on a journey, one in which you feel as if you are personally feeling the emotions of the characters, experiencing the same circumstances, which ultimately allows you to immerse yourself into the heartfelt story of Devdas. It was personally, a very emotional story,no matter how many times I have watched it, it always makes me cry. Sanjay Leela Bansali does not miss a beat in this beautiful story, and will leave you thinking... what if things were different?. I absolutely loved it!!! You will not be disappointed :) (I would say more, but I really am speechless! Once you see it, you will understand)

The movie is based on a Fiction Bengali story by Sharat Chandra Chatterjee but it can be applied to real life too .Devdas is a upper class guy who lives his life according to his wish much to the chagrin of his practical family and society (In India). He is a rebel not only to his family but to himself. He has a childhood friend Paro which then transforms into a romantic relationship. Paro and Devdas are absolutely in love with each other. But as is true in fiction as in real life, Love is something extremely dangerous. It is risky fraught with dangers to life itself !. But people who are in Love hardly care about this. They live a life moment to moment without thinking about either the past or the future. As is usual someone else gets into the way of Love and as it happens in real life more often than not it is your own family which comes into the way.So Devdas's family is opposed to their union especially his dad. Devdas goes against his family but in that moment of weakness he is not strong enough and loses Paro forever. He realizes his mistake but it is too late. Paro is already prepared for her marriage.Resigned in love, Devdas loses himself. He drinks and drinks only to forget Paro but he cannot. Meanwhile, a courtesan Chandramukhi seeing the pain of Devdas falls in love with him.The story moves on with the tragedy of Devdas's death. As is always the case Love could kill you and it does kill Devdas.There is a saying - Love is a slow suicide and how true it is.

I think this is one of my favorite bollywood movies and one of my favorite actor srk is in here and he did a tremendously good job as well as everyone else who did this movie. This movie is based on a true Indian epic which was also a remake of the old movie made at 1955. Anyways its about a young man named devdas coming from London after a long time. He finally gets to be paro his childhood love and he wants to marry her but his dad wants him to marry a well known girl so he basically leaves and moves in with his friend who basically is a heavy drinker and they part together and devdas meets another girl played by madhuri whose a bar dancer but he drinks so much because he simply can't get paro off his mind. So he just keeps drinking and eventually dies. This movie was pretty sad and over reacting was needed and it worked nd i hink its hi best performance. Aishwarya rai and madhuri were good to and the songs were excellent and matched the film ill give it an 8/10

I saw this movie in January this year and i have to say this is a breathtaking movie.This is sometimes Sanjay Leela Bhansalis best work.And i do consider.The story opens when Devdas family is happy that there son is returning from England.His mother says that she will be the first person to see him.But he goes to see Paro first.Mother is angry.Then a fight happens between Paro mother and Devdas mother.She banned him from seeing her.He meets Chandramukhi.From her Husband Chunilal he is Drunk.The movie is a remake of the 1955 Devdas starring Dilip Kumar as Devdas,Succhitra Sen as Paro,Vyjayanthimala as Chandramukhi.Shahrukh,Aishwarya,Madhuri and Jackie were superb in the movie.Shahrukh delivers a Breathtaking performance.The cinematography and Chereography is Excellent.The music is Excellent with Excellent picturisatioons.This deserves an Oscar Award.To Bad it failed.I don't know why they ignore Indian movies.Costumes are dazzling.Dialogs are wonderful.The climax is powerful.The scence where she runs to the gate is unforgettable and haunting.Kirron Kher and Smita Jaykar do a great job and so do the others.On the whole,this is an amazing movie
