The most lavish and expensive Bollywood film ever made, Devdas is the sweeping tale of two soul mates whose love is thwarted by India's rigid class structure. Devdas and Paro grow up together in a village, and become inseparable. Paro's father is a lower-caste bureaucrat and her mother comes from a family of dancers. Devdas' father is a high-caste landlord who decides to send his son to London to become a lawyer. Devdas stays in London for ten years, and on his return he finds Paro waiting, the power of her love for him still tangible. Their romance grows but Devdas' sister-in-law doesn't like the idea of Devdas marrying and her having to share the family wealth with Devdas and his bride. She schemes and turns Devdas' mother against Paro and her family. Paro is then married off to a rich widower landlord, and finds herself surrounded by wealth, an unloving husband and grown-up children. In response, Devdas begins a life of self-destruction. He becomes an alcoholic and is cared for by a prostitute in her brothel. There are references to the love story of Radha and Krishna, a Romeo and Juliet type story, the only difference being that Radha and Krishna are worshipped and their folklore recited by the campfire in villages. Stars Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai. (From India, in Hindi, with English subtitles) (2002) PG (Rpt) WS
