Nothing can explain the depth in this movie be it the dense story or the excellently portrayed and perfectly realistic emotions expressed by the actors. I can go on forever because there is so much I can say. The lyrics are deep and probing and perfectly suited to the story. There is no melodrama as in the new one and the actors succeed totally into delivering dialogues with deep meaning and weight. Sorry to say, Shahrukh was Shahrukh and not Devdas in the new movie whereas Dilip Kuman epitomises the real Devdas as he brings the character to life.

Apart from the realism in location, Roy's Devdas thrives in making the characters real. No Zamindar in a village had sparkling houses (as in the new Devdas). I have also seen Oriya villages (that are very similar to Bengali ones) because I originally come from one and I can say that Roy makes the village perfect.

(We must remember that she is no queen like Madhuri Dixit in Bhansali's version). Calcutta is shown as it should be and Chandramukhi's kotha or clothes are not that elaborate either. Roy makes you believe that what you are watching is a village and not a palace (as Bhansali depicted in his version). I agree this movie is not in colour and is not elaborate but I think that it what makes it realistic. I have watched Devdas 2002 and it compares in no way to this movie. Every actor/actress has the potential to bring you to tears. Suchitra Sen brings the perfect essence into Paro with her weighted words and Vyajantimala is perfectly cast as Chandramuki. He underwent psychological assistance after playing Devdas. Dilip Kumar is not called the 'tragedy king' for no good reason. The acting by the main charactersand not so main characters is brilliant and heavily analyzed. There are no elaborate sets as in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas but Roy's Devdas has in it the pain that would melt one's heart. Bimal Roy directs one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life in a very brilliant and poignant way.
