Devdas

In 1900s India, Calcuttan zamindar Devdas Mukherjee — unable to marry his lover — takes up alcohol and the company of a courtesan to alleviate the pain. Based on the Bengali-language novel of the same name by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the film narrates the story of Devdas Mukherjee (Shah Rukh Khan), a wealthy law graduate who returns from London to marry his childhood friend, Parvati "Paro" (Aishwarya Rai). After her rejection by his family, Devdas seeks refuge with the golden-hearted courtesan Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit), leading to an emotional deterioration and ultimately, a terminal confrontation.
