The innocent affection of two children evolves into an enduring passion, binding the lovers across time and space and defying all convention. A love that can never be, but which torments incessantly, drives the hero to dissipation and consigns the heroine to an unfulfilling marriage. Such is the path traversed by the star-crossed lovers in DEVDAS, a story that has perennially fascinated the Indian public. Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, and Jackie Shroff bring all their star power to bear in this unforgettable romance, contributing to a memorable film that also features outstanding music, exciting dancing, lavish sets, and artistic cinematography.

At over two and a half hours, the film's epic scale may not suit some Western viewers, but those willing to surrender themselves to the drama are in for a real treat.

Aishwarya Rai's natural beauty anchors the film's three best musical numbers, which balance out the slower and heavier melodramatic parts. All in all, a classy production.

There's more to Devdas than extravagance; the emotion and passion of the story is felt just as strongly in every frame as the budget.

The entire film has an overwhelming hugeness to it that's hard to resist.

It does what the movies were meant to do: move, dance and swirl in the popular imagination.
