Not quite what I was expecting, but really great
Devdas is really, really sad. I don’t just mean the title character, Devdas, but the entire film. It’s beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it’s really, really sad.

POOR QUALITY MEDIUM
Unfortunately, this DVD is useless for use with HDTV 50 inches or more. I have a 50 inch TV and played this using a upconverting Bluray player. Picture quality is worthless.

GREAT film,but which DVD version to buy?
Devdas is a wonderful introduction to the world of Bollywood film.It’s a visual feast for any romanticist,a sort of Indian Romeo and Juliet.

Intro to Bollywood – UPDATE
Accidentally marked my earlier Review as Kids Review – so I can’t edit it.
I examined the Discs on my PC and THEY ARE BOTH 4.

Hooray for Bollywood
Being new to Bollywood films, I didn’t know what to expect.
After watching this film, I would wager that it probably is one of the best of this genre. Lots of fun!

Good As Intro to BollyWood – - – BUT!!!!!!!
Really Great intro to BollyWood though recently made. Reason why the Music is very incorporated into the story and events – celebrations, drinking weddings, etc.

Bollywood to equal the best of Hollywood
Bollywood films are hardly seen in Brazil’s movie theaters – I remember only one movie, ‘Lagaan’, to be played in Brazil and just because it was nominated for Best foreign Film…
