    Great musical numbers and visually beautiful. What I don't get is why these beautiful women are drawn to such a mean man.

    I hated this movie the first time I saw it. I had just gotten back from somewhere--out of the country I think... and I watched this from around 2:30 AM to 5:30 AM before finally going to sleep. I was kind of stunned at the end. I think I watched it for the second time the next da...( read more)y and absolutely loved it. I have yet to find someplace (not online) to buy it, but I hope to have the soundtrack very soon. I think I might even like this better than Lagaan, the very first Bollywood film I ever saw.

It's all vastly sumptuous, though the spectacle frequently overwhelms the dramatic impact. full review

    Ashwarya is so beautiful. Love ur eyes and act. U made me cry with this movie. Everybody had tears in their eyes, when they were watching this movie. I have seen it like 100 times, but i still like it. Its a nice and sad movie.

    Unfortunately more spectacle & extravagance than substance. The Bengali versions & the classic Hindi version with Dilip Kumar are much truer to the original Bengali novel and therefore better. Nothing wrong with the actors as they are very good, but they were not able to show their full potential, shame to waste such talent.

    The movie is filled with colors and amazing sets and costumes. Devdas is a visual masterpiece with a fresh treatment of a tragic love story. Devdas is full of colors and breathtaking sets, which will keep your eyes glued to the screen.
