Devdas (1955)

Devdas (Dilip Kumar) was no hero. He was weak, confused and stubborn. He was ordinary, but his love story wasn’t. To destroy yourself completely and unapologetically in the name of love is something.

Devdas was not just about unrequited love. It was also about unconditional love. Chandramukhi (Vyjyanthimala) knows Devdas’s heart lies in Paro (Suchitra Sen), yet she devotes herself to him completely without asking for anything in return.

A classic!

Love songs: O jane wale ruk jaa, Woh na aayenge palat ke, Jise tu kabool kar le.
