A prominent film, screened in four Indian languages (Bengali, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil),it seems to offer a novel vision of romantic love and romanticism.This article critiques thefancifulinterpretations of the film provided by some post-modern academics in the field of comparative literature.It endeavours to place the film both as text and cinematic work into a broader perspective based on the study of intertextuality of three renditions: Raghavaiah’sDevdas (Telugu, 1953), BimalRoy’s Devdas(Hindi, 1955) and Bhansali’sDevdas (Hindi, 2002). ABSTRACT The screen adaptation of the novella Devdas by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay is an important landmark in early Indian cinema.
