Devdas in TIME Magazine's Top 10 Films List

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum composition Devdas starring Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit managed an exceptional achievement when renowned film critic Richard Corliss included the movie in TIME magazine's list of 10 best films of the millennium. Devdas, which features at No. 8 in this selected list, shares the platform with movies like Moulin Rouge, Avatar, Wall E, The Lord of the Rings and The Hurt Locker.

In his praise for Devdas, Corliss says, "The piece is played with such commitment that the tritest plot twists seem worth believing - and dancing to, in nine nifty production numbers. But the fervid emotion is what makes the thing sing. Beyond that, Devdas is a visual ravishment, with sumptuous sets, fabulous frocks and beautiful people to fill them; it has a grandeur the old Hollywood moguls would have loved."


Meanwhile, to mark the 10th bicentenary of Devdas, Bhansali also has tactics to release the movie in 3D.
