Sanjay Leela Bhansali
The most expensive Indian film ever made, Devdas, the third remake of
Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's classic 1913 novel, is the quintessential Bollywood
epic-beautiful, humorous, decadent, energetic and extravagant-with equal
parts singing, dancing and tragedy. In this "Romeo and Juliet"
story of love and separation, childhood sweethearts Devdas and Paro's
marriage plans are thwarted by their parents, causing a rift between the
two families and leaving Paro to be married off to a wealthy, older aristocrat.
Tormented, Devdas in his obsession for a lost Paro, turns to alcohol.
Even the selfless love of popular courtesan Chandramukhi cannot save the
doomed lover. Spectacular sets recreate Calcutta of the '20s, including
a house with 180 pillars and a stained glass haveli which took seven months
to build. Technically flawless and richly costumed, it is clear that no
expense was spared to create this ultimate Bollywood spectacle. (182 mins.)
