This is like the 3rd or 4th Bollywood movie I've seen. I gotta say it was absolutely spectacular. I'm a sucker for romances and this one delivers in all aspects. I couldn't get enough of it after watching it. I was going to go to sleep but I managed to stay up until 6am and watch... read more

Really long, and I didn't feel anything for the characters. It is a beautiful film to look at, the colors are vivid.

Here is an interesting movie that centralizes around the greatest component most tragedies/epic-dramas are made of: unrequited love. Here is a story that circulates the various intertwining components: Self-sacrifice. Denial. Misery and anguish. Paro (Parvati) and Devdas have alw... read more

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

Devdas happens to one of the most expensive movies ever made in India. And it paid off. This movie was just drop dead gorgeous. The acting was fantastic. And generally, I like only 1 or 2 songs from a Bollywood movie, but I bought the soundtrack movie for this one because I enjoy... read more

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

my first bollywood film (after my girlfriend made me watch it) was a surprisingly pleasant experience. The rich colors and complex dance made up for the sometimes murky translation

Too long like most Hindi movies, but I enjoyed the melodrama and the heart breaking and teary story.
Critic Reviews
It's all vastly sumptuous, though the spectacle frequently overwhelms the dramatic impact. Full Review
Aishwarya Rai's natural beauty anchors the film's three best musical numbers, which balance out the slower and heavier melodramatic parts. All in all, a classy production. Full Review
There's more to Devdas than extravagance; the emotion and passion of the story is felt just as strongly in every frame as the budget. Full Review
The entire film has an overwhelming hugeness to it that's hard to resist. Full Review
When a movie throws as much at you as Devdas does, it's easy to forgive minor disappointments. Full Review
Opulence rules. So does emotion. Pack a lunch and have an experience because Bollywood beckons. Full Review
At over two and a half hours, the film's epic scale may not suit some Western viewers, but those willing to surrender themselves to the drama are in for a real treat. Full Review
