Devdas is a man destroyed by an act of lustful weakness that parts him from his true love forever (of course if she'd done it she'd just be slapper and he'd eventually get over his grief and find an even truer love). Only the arrival of sweet death will bring him his release and Devdas asks only that he can see Paro, the light of his life, before he departs the mortal world. 'Devdas' is a lush Bollywood epic; hugely enjoyable and so chocolate box sentimental if you ate one you'd probably die from sugar overload.
