Forget the haters! This is an awesome film!

Coming off a film like 'Albela', it was very important for Aishwarya Rai to do a film like this! A lot of people had been speculating about her beauty, charm, acting and dancing skills etc. etc. and I think this was the film that shut them all up. I can't imagine that so many people think this film is crap, yet there are 92 reviews and comments before mine. I think that's saying something. Anyhow, in this Epic of Titanic proportions, Aishwarya Rai plays Paro, a lovely young woman coming of age, whose sole purpose in life is to worship her childhood friendship and friend Devdas (played by Shah Rukh Khan), just one look at her and you can tell that Paro/Pavrati is one half of a two part series of star-crossed lovers. It's Romeo and Juliet meets Titanic meet Tuck everlasting meets every colourful bollywood picture you have ever seen all rolled into one magnificent masterpiece! While they are preteens, Devdas is sent away by his family to go study in England and this devastates Paro who is chastised by her mother for over-reacting during the boy's departure. As she blossoms into a teenager, Paro's love for Devdas only grows and one day she is told that Devdas is to return home to India. Naturally, she is beyond overjoyed and prepares herself for his arrival, only to develop an inexplicable fright when he finally comes to her house to see her. A game of cat and mouse ensues but the two would-be lovers finally come face to face and find that their attraction has grown. Enter the evil conniving family feuds, the caste systems and surely you know that all this takes a toll on this everlasting friendship. Somehow, Paro's love eludes Devdas and he winds up with a gypsy's curse looming over his head until the final moment of the film when Paro's husband executes his own curse on his wife, while Devdas's curse finally catches up with him. A devastating and earth shattering blow that ends their friendship and love forever! This of course, is only part of the story, there are lots of twists and turns and while it is a remake of the 1950s classic of the same name, this version is a unique must see of its own. Don't miss the show-stopping song and dance numbers especially 'Sisila ye' and 'Dola re Dola' which teams up the dancing queens (Ash and Madhuri Dixit) in a dance-floor showdown! A+

Lush, lavish, lovely - but ....

I owned this film for 8 months but did not see it because of all the negative hype on the board. Then I took the plunge. First off let me say that I was not a great Saratchandra admirer. His stories (except SWAMI) mostly portrayed women as weak minded, subservient (maybe true to the time, but not to be admired), and men as weak and mostly well bred but not well educated. I had no real recollection of the story as written. And, not being a great Dilip Kumar fan, I never watched the old version. So, I have no comparisons to draw, no plot line differences to talk about.

I came away moved by the tragic love story that unfolded. It was not flawless, most Bollywood movies are not.

Negatives - the sets were beautiful but over the top, ditto for the costumes. The duo dance was a great way to compare Aish vs Madhuri dancing skills (both were pretty even matched for me) but in the story line it was quite silly and should not have been there. There was no real need for the the two to meet, but this was Mr, Bhansali's directorial license. Chandramukhi's kotha and environs were lifted straight from Pakeezah, which was a very stylized movie and not authentic.

Positives: Shahrukh Khan gave a very restrained performance, the silent tears accompanied with an anguish that only his eyes portrayed was a real departure from the screwed-up face crying. He was very very good in the drunk bits, very good in the anguished bits. It is remarkable how much this actor is accused of being typecast when every other year he pulls out an amazing performance - Dil Se (1998), Asoka (2001) and Devdas (2002) are all departures from his usual typecast romantic hero image. Recent roles in Swades and KANK are even more varied. The detractors will keep saying he overacted, or he portrayed no emotions, for me this was a truly great role as an anguished lover. Mr. Khan - your best actor award for this role in Devdas was well deserved.

Madhuri - what can one say about this truly great icon? She was amazing, you felt her pain, her caring, her selfless love, the moments between her and Shahrukh sizzled. And her dancing was brilliant.

Aish - was a bit wooden at times, but not always. She had a chemistry with Shahrukh that was understated until she was beyond his reach, but come on - the woman looks amazing, is there any doubt that a hundred Devdas types are dying for her?? She was better as the movie progressed to the more serious part.

The movie went into an emotional downward spiral a third of the way in and I sat there moved and almost crying for these tortured souls the rest of the two hours.

The movie was eye candy in the sets and costumes department. The two leading ladies were stunning, Shahrukh was easy on the eye, yet there was something that did detract from this being a great film. Upon much thinking I have come to the conclusion that it was the over the top beauty of everything that really made everything a little unreal for me. How could such perfect people have such imperfect lives? In essence the little black mark on the lip was missing and that left me a little dissatisfied.

If Mr. Bhansali had stated that this was an adaptation from the original novel, people would forgive him the fact that Devdas in his version is a mature man and knows his mind (although fails to act decisively on it), and the fact that an aristocratic lady visits a courtesan's establishment and the two dance together.

If you do not compare with what did or did not come before, this was an intense emotional experience, anchored by great performances from Shahrukh, Madhuri and yes, even Aish.

Ugh

After his wealthy family prohibits him from marrying the woman he is in love with, Devdas Mukherjee (Shah Rukh Khan)'s life spirals further and further out of control as he takes up alcohol and a life of vice to numb the pain.

Clearly I will never understand Indian cinema. I have seen more than handful now, and they strike me as melodramatic, too focused on singing and dancing, too colorful and far too long. Why they seem so childish compared to just about every other country's films, who knows? "Devdas" has plenty to like about it if you happen to be into Indian film. But I am not, so all those great things just make me scratch my head.
