Devdas is the ultimate love story, which transcends everything ... even life itself.

It is the story of a man called Devdas Mukherjee, a child who, essentially is trapped in a man's body. A man whose intense love for his childhood sweetheart Paro, came to destroy him. One hasty decision, and a realization which came too late, ruined any change they had of being together.

Not being able to live without Paro, as she now belonged to another, Devdas took to excessive drinking in order to forget her. Even though his life became a downward spiral, leading only to self-destruction, he was still not able to put her out of his mind.

The sheer intensity of his love consumed every part of him. His burning passion could be seen deep in his eyes. No one, not even a beautiful courtesan, could erase the memories embedded within him. In fact she makes him remember Paro all the more. Even sleep itself refuses to assist him in this burning quest. He asks, "when will this thirst be quenched?"

Merely existing, he promises Paro that he would visit her before he died. He makes good on his promise and sacrifices everything to see her one last time. His peace finally blankets him, in the form of eternal sleep.

His being a chaste and faithful lover to Paro, gives even greater depth to his undying devotion. Although tragic, Devdas will prove to be the ultimate love story for all time.

Shahrukh on Devdas: "Devdas was really, really beautiful. I don't think I'll love any film in the next few years as much as I loved Devdas. It is the epitome of romance. My parents would have been very proud I did Devdas."

Anyone watching this beautiful film will be able to see and understand the conflicts which rage inside this man, from Shahrukh's performance. It is a well executed characterization you don't want to miss!!! It is a film that you'll watch over and over again.
