The film had Dilip Kumar in the title role and Vyjayanthimala in her first dramatic role where she played Chandramukhi, a courtesan and Suchitra Sen in her Bollywood debut as Parvati in the lead. !Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2013.I found this to be very informative in reference to the childhood relationship that Devdas and Parvati had as children. The superb acting by nearly all the actors further enhances its value.

And what performances ! Devdas 1955. Some are really bad, like the Malayalam version.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 12, 2009.Cinamaetography is bit old. Dilip Kumar and Suchitra Sen take film acting to new heights in their portrayal of Devdas and Paro.I first saw this movie in 1970 and have to this day never forgotten the haunting and beautifully tuned climax.Many years later the recent Shah Rukh blockbuster came to view which to my mind defamed the essence and spirit of the tale.Bimal Roy's dignified classic took one to the root of the matter.It is hard to imagine a film with so much realism.I have never seen an actor so deeply immersed in the character he's playing like Dilip Kumar and to bring that piece of fiction to life.Suchitra Sen embodies her role beautifully but Vyjantimala is simply superb.The other parts are skillfully played; an attribute to sound casting.The photography and music like in all Bimal Roy films are an accolade to nature.Forget about the lavish Khan extravaganza and see Devdas as it really should be : a man who gives up all even his life for his bitterment but still evokes admiration from the world.I had seen the Bengali Uttam Kumar in some films and it is my regret he never played this role but Dilip Kumar will never be bettered.I felt he was totally lost in the character!!
He dies at her doorstep on a dark, cold night. I have just modified 4 external links on Devdas (1955 film). Though I have not seen it, by felt it in this way.

She was handpicked by Bimal Roy for her flawless dancing skills. The script of this movie was very sad and I have never seen this type of script in any other movie. His dialogues are simple and easier to understand, in comparison with Shahrukh Khan's role, who speaks lots of flowery language. Devdas has been remade a number of times, New Theatres remade it in Tamil in 1936, it was made twice in Telugu in 1953 and 1974 but the most famous subsequent version was the one by Bimal Roy who had photographed this version. The music was also excellent.What a classic cult movie given by Bimal Roy.
In addition to that, this film has great and subliminal histrionic performances by Dilip Kumar, Suchitra Sen and Vyjayanthi Mala. When, af Maybe I am being biased since I find Shah Rukh so attractive,especially in comparison.
