What made Devdas human
A look at Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel and Bhansali's screen interpretation:?
Only Sarat Chandra Chatterjee could make a hero out of a drunkard with erratic, often dangerous moodswings --- out of a man who always seemed to make mistakes in his life and never quite had control over what he said.
How else did Sarat Chandra make us cry for Devdas as we saw him slowly deteriorate into oblivion and disappear, his body left to rot, with not a loved one in sight to shed a tear?
Chatterjee was a philosophical genius. Why, then, did Sanjay Leela Bhansali not trust this legendary writer's judgement?
