Devdas - 1955 [Bimal Roy / Dilip Kumar] (Classic Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD) by Baba by Bimal Roy

Cinamaetography is bit old. I wish it can be reproduced with the use of modern technology with both Dilip Kumar and Vyjayantimala playing the lead roles. However that is not possible. The sory was based on self absorbtion of a lead actor. Dilipji played the role of broken hearted man extremely well. The loss of Paro absorbed him so much in his own pain that he was not able to distinguish a true love from the one he lost. All three leading actors played their roles very well. The songs were great.

Either you read the book or watch the film. It is the same thing. I don't think any film director has literally put on screen every word written by the novelist. And this has produced a gem. It is a classic of Indian cinema. Every actor reach a summit in his career which he never assails that height of acting again. This is what Dilip Kumar has achieved. Never again he reached the excellence of that sublime acting again. Perhaps, he was born to play the role of Devdas. SRK, Madhuri Dixit version is a joke, insult to the author and a comical approach to the subject.
