Devdas, the son of a zamindar, and Parvati, his neighbour's daughter, are childhood sweethearts. Nonetheless, class and caste variations forestall their marriage. Devdas is shipped off to Calcutta, whereas Paro is married off to an aged wealthy widower. In Calcutta, as regret drives him to alcohol, Devdas meets Chandramukhi, a prostitute. All Indian prints of this Bengali model have been destroyed in a fireplace that ravaged New Theatre’s studios. At present, just one copy of the movie survives which belongs to the Bangladesh Movie Archives. Of that replicate nearly forty p.c is destroyed.
