It’s a visual treat to watch the sets and the atmosphere that was built. SRK played the role tremendously, and you can’t help but sympathize with him who was destined for a tragic ending. it is a movie that sticks with you even a few days after watching it and the soundtrack and dances were all 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Max A Devdas is an astonishing auditory and visual spectacle, full of color and character from beginning to end. Based on the Bengali novel of the same name, Devdas is one of the greatest love stories ever told. The film follows the tragic story of Devdas Mukherjee (Shah Rukh Khan) and Parvati Chaudhary (Aishwarya Rai) impossible love. Devdas has been called "greater than Romeo and Juliet" which I do not object to. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, the film is a delight from beginning to end. The musical numbers are visually impressive, well-coreographed, and full of color. Even as someone who does not particularly love — nor understand — musicals, I truly enjoyed them and followed the story without any issues. Ismail Darbar and Birju Maharaj composed the music, while Monty Sharma took care of the score. The original soundtrack has a total length of 52:56, which goes to show how much care was put into it. To me, Devdas Achille's Heel is its editing. It was beautifully done during the first half of the film, but I found it lacking in the second half. It was more notable during transitions to different scenes, not so much while changing from one shot to another in the same scene, but it still was bothersome. Despite what many could consider a long running time — 174 minutes —, Devdas is a masterpiece from beginning to end worth every single minute.

A mythic archetypal tale of childhood star-crossed love ruined by pride and family interference, with an expensive noble prostitute thrown in. An upper-class fairytale with luxurious ornate costumes, magnificent sprawling sets, complex choreography with a cast of a hundred dancers, and exquisite classical-influenced Indian music, with singing by the very young and precocious super-talent of Shreya Goshal; first made me cry without understanding a word sung! Any paused frame could be a painting. With the most beautiful actress in the world, Aishwarya Rai, and the most electrifying male actor ever, Sha Rukh Khan - at once boyish, powerful, and amusing with permanently snarling eyebrows, a perfected downward smile, and super-actractive lips, acknowledged even by heterosexuals. Watched it about six times, and still need to hide tears. Too tragic. (Spoiler alert - great lines from the prostitute taking down the aristocrat who sought to destroy her publically!)
