Devdas Mukherji is black-listed by his multi-millionaire Zamindar father, Narayan. After completing 10 years of study; Devdas return to his home-town where his family prepares to welcome him but their happiness changes when Devdas prefers to visit his childhood sweetheart, Parvati alias Paro before paying respect to his mother. After so much years Devdas finds he is still the black spot in his father's life especially when he is prevented from marrying Paro who happen to be a lower-caste girl. Eventually time passes with Paro's family arranging her marriage to a much elderly man named Bhuvan Choudhry where she is introduce to Bhuvan's children - who happen to be within her age group. This sadness not only breaks Devdas heart but confines him to alcohol in a big way. Soon Devdas starts to frequent a brothel and catches the eyes of a courtesan named Chandramukhi - step by step Devdas starts to head towards a path of self destruction.

The film Devdas raises a few questions ? How much liberty a film maker can be allowed ? Is it fair to change locale ? A few incidents in the film are not mentioned in the book should such incidents be allowed to be included in the film.The attributes of the charactars of story are different from one the origianal author - is it fair to to him ? Devdas of Sharadbabu id different from that of Sanjay's.Can a film maker make such substatial changes in the plot of film. Say a character is shown to be dead at the end of the story , can a filmaker show him living at the end or if A marries B in ther story can a film maker show him marrying C ?There should be some limit. To me it seems Sanjay has crossed those limits.(Maybe its my opinion ).
