Devdas, tagged “a grand saga of
timeless love,” was the first Bollywood-style
film to be screened at the prestigious Cannes film
festival in 2003. It was significant for Indian
cinema that a film coming out of the proletarian
Bollywood genre was given prominent international
recognition and exposure.
The classic romantic tale (four films have been
based on the novel) is set in a glittering fantasy
world and stars Indian megastar Shahrukh Khan and
former Miss World Aishwarya Rai. At a price tag
of $12 million, Devdas easily overtook
Lagaan as the most expensive Indian film
ever made. |
