A spirited anti-hero, in India his name his synonymous with a sort of heroic failure.Įverything about the film - costumes, sets, songs and sentiments - is larger than life and the sheer spectacle demands respect.
Essentially a tragic love triangle, the story follows tortured Devdas (Khan) as he mucks things up with childhood sweetheart Paro (Rai), meets courtesan Chandramukhi (Dixit) and then drinks himself to death. An extravagant tale of love, loss and serious drinking, it operates on a scale previously unseen in Bollywood. Set in the 30s and sumptuously shot, it follows a lovelorn suitor's slide into alcoholism and despair Bhansali's film boasts the biggest budget for an Indian film ever and boy, does it show. Gloriously excessive Bollywood epic starring former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.
