Devdas is a 2002 Bollywood film based on the Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novella, Devdas.

It was the most expensive Bollywood movie of the time it was made; it had a lavish budget of Rs 1,000,000,000. When it was released in 2002, it was the most expensive Bollywood film ever produced, at a cost of approximately US$22.3 million. It was said that the jewelry and saris weighed the actors down so much that they needed to reorder with clothing and accessories of less weight.

The movie was the biggest box-office grosser of the year. Aishwarya Rai's performance as the sensitive yet haughty Paro, and Madhuri Dixit's as the dancer Chandramukhi were highly appreciated. Shahrukh Khan's performance as the sensitive yet rebellious alcoholic Devdas is often considered one of his best performances yet, and he won a Filmfare Award for his performance.

A musical extract from the movie Silsila Ye Chaahat Ka is one of my favorites. Please check out another Bollywood gem Lagaan.
