Leaburn O @RT35452347 11/19/2024 Rated by Empire magazine as one of the top 100 foreign language films of all time, so I found myself digging about to find a copy to watch. It is better than the vast majority of Bollywood films but that bar is preposterously low. It is an overlong, overwrought, melancholic piece of melodrama with unnecessary and irritating songs. I was counting down the minutes until it ended. The main protagonist whips the love of his life to scar her so she remembers him. She’s forever grateful for this act. I mean honestly…. I’m done with Bollywood. It churns out so much dross. See more 02/18/2010 Social commentary and romance at a perfect balance. A shame that it was remade into a pathetic over the top soap opera starring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. See more 12/25/2009 Bimal Roy's Devdas is gorgeous. Not so much visually (well, maybe I should see it again--there are a few shots here, there) as it is emotionally, a real tearjerker. It's like a parody of Wuthering Heights, only the characters so fully capture the spirit of Bronte they constitute a more faithful adaptation than some of the movies that actually have the novel's name on the title page. Lovely film. See more 11/20/2008 Il primo "Devdas" che ho visto e chi mi ha totalmente affascinato. Grande Dilip Kumar. See more Read all reviews
