Devdas is the story of a love beyond all
else...even life.The saga
of a man called Devdas who loved,loved and just loved...Devdas
shared a magnetic childhood with his lovely playmate Paro where supreme
love was felt before it was understood. When youth beckoned, the loved
intensified. But, alas, a fateful moment of weakness on the part of
Devdas created a permanent wall of seperation between him and his
beloved Paro. On one side of the wall was a heartbroken Paro who became
the wife of another. And on the other, was a completely shattered Devdas.Unable to
bear the agony of a life without Paro, Devdas made alcohol his constant
companion. But that could not make him forget the piercing pain. Even
the unflinching devotion of a beautiful courtesan Chandramukhi, did not
ease the heartache of losing Paro. It was only when his eyes closed to a
permanent sleep, did the pain begin to fade
But even
before losing the light of life, all Devdas urged, was to see his Paro
just once ...
Thus giving his love the greatest dignity ...
It was at Paro's doorstep, that the doors of heaven opened for Devdas.
(He obeyed his Father in
childhood and then later when he became young
He obeyed his Mother when he handed over the
keys of the Locker which were taken by his brother's wife [The liting of
Kachahri by devdas has also been done in a very effective and restrained
manner by Shahrukh]And when his Bhabhi lied that the keys were concealed
by Devdas he did not contradict it but he calmly said that "Mujhe
tumhara hissa banne se koi nahin rok sakta"
He obliged Chandramukhi by expressing his love
He obliged his friend Chunni Babu in the train
when he did not restrain himself and drand against Vaidya's advise.He
knew that it is going to work as Poison
He obliged Paro by visiting her house before
leaving his final breath.One of the best scenes ever picturised on
death.
These were a few tragic shades of the
character[ role] of Devdas enacted by Shahrukh khan in Devdas)
He left
behind a testimony of true love,that was pure, chaste, undemanding...
and thus immortal. Indeed, love was his life...
love makes him live on...
