5.0 out of 5 stars love and and ordinairy madness, 6 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Bimal roys version of Devdas is without doubt one of the cornerstones in what the west has recently decided to acknowledge as Bollywood. His handling of the narrative and ubiquitous formulaic themes of the genre to this day remains untouched. And at this point it is important to establish that even the more recent 'all singing all dancing' version of the classic is merely another offering of the'style over content' approach endemic to the genre.

Dilip Kumar's central performance again marks him as one of the greatest actors in the history of Indian Cinema. His delicay, subtle aggresiveness and desperation are perfectly balanced with the softness, graciousness and capacious love of his Paro. The film is without a doubt a gem, all elements of the formula work (an oft times difficult task). the music, lyrics, cinematography and above the dialogue all fuse to create one of the greatest meditations on unrequited love.

If you have seen the more recent madhuri, ash and shah-rukh affair please re-visit this earlier version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bimal Roy's Devdas, 24 Dec 2008
By A. Kumar "Book Lover" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Either you read the book or watch the film. It is the same thing. I don't think any film director has literally put on screen every word written by the novelist. And this has produced a gem. It is a classic of Indian cinema. Every actor reach a summit in his career which he never assails that height of acting again. This is what Dilip Kumar has achieved. Never again he reached the excellence of that sublime acting again. Perhaps, he was born to play the role of Devdas. SRK, Madhuri Dixit version is a joke, insult to the author and a comical approach to the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Devdas, 12 Jul 2009
Cinamaetography is bit old. I wish it can be reproduced with the use of modern technology with both Dilip Kumar and Vyjayantimala playing the lead roles. However that is not possible. The sory was based on self absorbtion of a lead actor. Dilipji played the role of broken hearted man extremely well. The loss of Paro absorbed him so much in his own pain that he was not able to distinguish a true love from the one he lost. All three leading actors played their roles very well. The songs were great.
