Sanjay Leela Bhansali created a timeless tale of love, Devdas in 2002 that eventually became a cult classic in the history of Indian Cinema. The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles, was adorned with a beautiful canvas, massive sets, brilliant performances, chartbuster music, and SLB’s fine art of storytelling. The film created a stir at the time of its release and even today, it is worth reckoning as a gem of Indian cinema. As the film has completed its glorious 22 years, Bhansali Productions relives the nostalgia with a video encapsulating the chips from the film.
Bhansali Productions took to their social media and shared a video and jotted down the caption –
“The magic of Devdas lives on. Celebrating 22 years of love, friendship, and melodies that have become a part of our hearts+ #22YearsOfDevdas
