I was lucky enough to see this in the theater in the United States when it first came out. I had seen a few Shahrukh Khan films on tape (thanks to a friend), and when I noticed "Devdas" in the online movie listings

 Vindicated visionary: Interview with Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Set in the early 1900s, this film follows a young man named Devdas (Shah Rukh Khan) on his way home to India after having spent the past ten years in London. As the news reaches Devdas and his ex-love Paro's (Aishwarya Rai) respective households, the family matriarchs remember when the young couple were still children. When Devdas' mother found out the two wanted to get married, she refused to give her consent, and in doing so, set off a sequence of events which would lead Devdas into alcoholism. Though Paro has agreed to an arranged marriage with a wealthy landowner, she still loves Devdas, and is determined to lure him away from his constant drinking. Devdas is based on a classic Indian novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhye, and is the third feature directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

What can be more glorious than to die for love? That is why Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's tragic hero Devdas makes his widely read 1917 novel an ideal subject for filmmakers, namely P C Barua, Bimal Roy and now Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Review: Devdas

देवदास Devdas is a film of extremes. It features lush, dream-like, fantastic sets, three larger-than-life superstars in Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, and Madhuri Dixit, and some of the most beautiful song and dance I have seen in any film....
