Devdas (1955 film)
Devdas (2002 film)
The story about Devdas is his parents have heard that their younger son, Devdas , is coming home from a law school in England to their mansion in Tal Sonapur,Bengal . On the day of his return, Kaushalya insists everyone in the family close their eyes so that she will be the first person to see him. Her plan backfires, however, when instead of coming straight home, Devdas goes to see Parvati "Paro" Chakraborty , his childhood sweetheart, first. This incident ignites Kaushalya's dislike of Paro.
Paro is Devdas's neighbour and childhood friend. The years apart turned their friendship into love. When he was sent to England at the age of ten, she (though a child herself) lit a lamp for him, which she carefully tended to over the years and never allowed to extinguish.
It seems to everyone, including Paro's mother Sumitra , that Devdas and Paro will get married, but Devdas's vindictive sister-in-law Kumud reminds Kaushalya of Paro's maternal lineage, which consists of dancers. When Sumitra announces her desire for Devdas and Paro to marry, Kaushalya rejects and humiliates her in public. In retaliation, Sumitra vows to ensure that Paro will get an even better marriage, and soon arranges for Paro to marry Thakur Bhuvan Chaudhry , a forty-year-old widowed aristocrat with three grown children.
Paro still loves Devdas, but after he gets into a fight with his father about his relationship with Paro, he flees to a alongside his college friend Chunnibabu and leaves a letter for her stating that love had never existed between them. At the brothel Devdas meets a good-hearted named Chandramukhi , who falls in love with him. After staying at the brothel for a while, however, Devdas realizes his error.
Devdas returns to Paro at the time of her wedding to Bhuvan Chaudhry and asks her to elope with him. Paro refuses, remembering the way he had discarded her so easily. Devdas is heartbroken from losing both Paro and his family's love, and he moves to Chandramukhi's brothel permanently and becomes an alcoholic. He eventually becomes so sick that the slightest dose of alcohol could kill him. Chandramukhi, who cares deeply for Devdas, tries to get Paro to convince him to stop drinking; Paro attempts to persuade him, but she does not succeed. However, Devdas promises Paro that before he dies, he will come to see her one last time and let her care for him.
Paro invites Chandramukhi, whom she has befriended, to a celebration at her husband's home and introduces Chandramukhi to her in-laws without revealing her profession. However, Bhuvan's ill-natured son-in-law Kalibabu (Milind Gunaji), who used to visit Chandramukhi's brothel on a regular basis, reveals her background and humiliates her in front of Bhuvan and the guests. He also tells Bhuvan of Paro's relationship with Devdas. As a result, Bhuvan punishes Paro by permanently forbidding her from leaving the mansion.
Meanwhile, Devdas tells Chandramukhi that he loves her, but that she must let him go. He decides to travel the country, and takes Dharamdas (Tiku Talsania), a trusted servant, with him. While on a train, he meets his old friend Chunnibabu, who offers him a glass of wine. Devdas accepts it deliberately, knowing that it will be fatal, and becomes desperately sick.
On the verge of death, Devdas remembers his promise to see Paro one last time and travels to her house, collapsing in front of the main gate. Paro learns of his presence, and, screaming his name, runs out of the house and attempts to reach him. Bhuvan sees this and orders the servants to close the gates. Devdas sees a blurred image of Paro running to him, but the gates close before she can reach him and Devdas dies. At the same time, the lamp that Paro had lit for him flickers out. Labels: :)
