Devdas
A grand saga of timeless love.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Produced by V.I.P. Films, Mega Bollywood Private Limited
A sweeping, visually sumptuous period romance about doomed love and the destructive weight of social constraint, told with operatic melancholy.
In 1900s India, Calcuttan zamindar Devdas Mukherjee — unable to marry his lover — takes up alcohol and the company of a courtesan to alleviate the pain.
