Review
Devdas is the story of a forbidden love between a wealthy young man and his childhood friend from an undesirable family.
Devdas is considered by many to be one of the best films to ever come out of Bollywood. This Indian film evokes the grandiose days of lavish Hollywood musicals. The sets are enormous, colorful and beautiful. The musical numbers are surreal presentations with dozens of dancers in bright costumes. The music is excellent and represents the best of Indian show music. Devdas is quite the artistic spectacle.
Like many classic Hollywood films, Devdas has a long, meandering plot that progresses rather slowly; however, Devdas has a big story with a lot of well-developed characters. With all that being said, here’s your warning. Most of the dialog in Devdas is in Hindi and Bengali. If you don’t like reading subtitles, you might find watching this film to be a challenge.
