Devdas [DVD] [NTSC]

Devdas is a timeless classic adaptation of the famous Bengali novel by Sharat Chattopadhyay. This film is the third adaptation Sanjay Leela Bhansali truly has created a beautiful film. First the story plot. The story revolves around childhood friends Paro acted by Aishwarya Rai and Devdas played by Shahrukh Khan. The beginning of the film starts of with devdas returning to India from England after nine years, his whole family anticipating his return with big excitement. Paro has lit a lamp nine years ago which represents Devdas, a tale that if a lamp is lit, then eventually the traveller will return home. Devdas returns and the love between him and Paro kindles. However, family grudges, pitiful social norms and pride will destroy everything.The acting by Bollywood actors and acctresses is amazing. Aishwarya Rai truly shines in this film as Paro and personally I feel this is her best performance. Shuhrukh Khan plays the Devdas outstanding and Madhuri Dixit turn her minor role to a major one. The film has the most amazing sets, the colours, vividness etc is breathtaking. The culture of Hindu and India is prominant and exhilirating. The music is perfect. The film will make you laugh, smile, get up and dance 'Re Dole Re Dole'and cry. The only minor flaw is the running time. the film is 3 hours long. However, every second is worthwhile. Watch and cherish this unforgettable masterpiece of love, betrayal and tragedy.

Once upon a time, there were silent movies. Then a Jazz Singer made movies speak and Dorothy brought them life in color. Cinema was pure magic !Bollywood movies bring back to our time that magic that seems to have been lost for decades in our occidental world.A very simple story but such a powerfull screenplay, music that make you want to dance with the actors, perfect choreographies and magnificent costumes. That's all it takes to bring our world some fresh air.To me, Devdas is to musicals what The Fifth Element is to action movies. It doesnt take itself too seriously, the mix of tears and humor is well balanced, action carries us all the way from beginning to end and the sum of all this leaves the viewers the impression that cinema can again take us to a fantasy world where 25 gunshots a minute is persona non grata!Bollywood remembers what Hollywood has long ago forgotten.Thats what we want...Thats entertainment !
