Ever since this tragic story of Devdas has hit the silver screen since the black and white era, it has left behind many memorable performances by Dilip Kumar, Sehgal. Even in Telugu Nageshwar Rao and Krishna have lent memorable performance to this role.

In 2002 comes the latest, the costliest and the most eagerly awaited version of Devdas by Sanjay Leela Bhansali who has cast the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit. The hype has been so much that at Sangeet Theatre the tickets have been sold out for the entire first week. Well for this generation there is lot of curiosity factor and that has probably prompted the producers of this movie to go in for the maximum number of prints for the initial screening.
