Starring: SHAH RUKH KHAN, AISHWARYA RAI, MADHURI DIXIT
Synopsis: Devdas is the story of a love beyond all else, even life. The saga of a man called Devdas who loved, loved and just loved. Devdas shared a magnetic childhood with his lovely playmate Paro where supreme love was felt before it was understood. When youth beckoned, the loved intensified. But, alas, a fateful moment of weakness on the part of Devdas created a permanent wall of separation between him and his beloved Paro. On one side of the wall was a heartbroken Paro who became the wife of another. And on the other, was a completely shattered Devdas. Unable to bear the agony of a life without Paro, Devdas made alcohol his constant companion. But that could not make him forget the piercing pain. Even the unflinching devotion of a beautiful courtesan Chandramukhi, did not ease the heartache of losing Paro. It was only when his eyes closed to a permanent sleep, did the pain begin to fade. But even before losing the light of life, all Devdas urged was to see his Paro just once, thus giving his love the greatest dignity. It was at Paro's doorstep that the doors of heaven opened for Devdas. He left behind a testimony of true love that was pure, chaste, undemanding...and thus immortal. Indeed, love was his life... love makes him live on.

Devdas (2 Disc Set) Reviews:
Madhuri Dixit..Now I need to go watch all her movies 
2008-08-13 - The story is about flawed characters..None of the 3 protagonists had any redeeming values... OK..maybe the courtesan Chandramuki had some. If you are looking for an uplifting story...This is not it. Knock on another door. But then, the world is not all about redeeming characters.
Its a tragedy...but the path to their destruction was delightful to watch.
For me..the movie came alive when Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit) was on the screen. By Joe, what an impact she has... She was spectacular and mesmerizing. Her subtle grace ...never seen anything like it. I wish I knew how I can just extract just her portion in this movie and then play it in an endless loop. Including the dances she was in... I'll be a happy man.
I knew the story going in....and yet I enjoyed it.
GREAT MOVIE. BEYOND TERRIBLE DVD QUALITY 
2008-07-21 - This movie is a favorite of mine. I lost my previous copy and decided to order another from here. When i received the DVD from this company I come to discover the terrible quality of it. It is as if it is a pirated copy. Terrible video quality along with poor audio. I feel terrible for those who witness such a great film for the first time on such disappointing quality. Look somewhere else for this product. I have returned my copy and expect a refund myself.
An Indian poem
2008-05-30 - If you like to see India's way of life on a poem , watch Devdas . It's amazing ! the sets , the dances , the actors , the story, the music ...and Madhuri Dixit .
What fun!!
2008-04-15 - This was candy for the eyes!! Beautiful to look at, great dances and a wonderful way to be introduced to Bollywood!! Really a fun movie...and as a musical fan I'm excited to have it in my library of musicals. Rent it or buy it for a look into something a little different from the everyday....
Sweet and Sour
2008-02-23 - It's an amazing jewel of indian cinema, but offensively recorded in a low quality DVD!
Let's pray for the original being sold (some day the near future) in Amazon.
