Storyline
Devdas Mukherjee (Shah Rukh Khan), a wealthy zamindar’s son, returns home after years of studying in London. He reunites with his childhood love, Parvati “Paro” Chaudhary (Aishwarya Rai), and the two share an unbreakable bond. However, class differences and family pride stand in their way. When Devdas’s parents reject Paro’s proposal, she is married off into a wealthy household. Heartbroken and consumed by pain, Devdas turns to alcohol, finding solace in the affection of Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit), a compassionate courtesan who falls deeply for him.
As Devdas spirals down a path of self-destruction, his story becomes a tragic testament to the cost of love lost and the fragility of human emotion.
