Devdas[a] is a 2013 Bangladeshi romantic period drama film based on the Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novel Devdas. The film is directed by Chashi Nazrul Islam, who also directed the 1982 version and produced by Faridur Reza Sagar under the banner of his Impress Telefilm, based on the 1917 novel of the same name by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. The film is set in the early 1900s and follows Shakib Khan as Devdas Mukherjee,[2] a wealthy law graduate who returns from Calcutta after 13 years to marry his childhood sweetheart, Paro, played by Apu Biswas. However, the rejection of this marriage by his own family sparks his descent into alcoholism, ultimately leading to his emotional deterioration and him seeking refuge with a courtesan, Chandramukhi, played by Moushumi.[3]

It is the second Bangladeshi and eighth Bengali version with this story, also first coloured Bengali language version of Devdas.[4] It is Impress Telefilm's fiftieth film and twelfth adaptation of Devdas.[5] It is the final film starring Ferdousi Ahmed Lina.[6][7] It was released on 15 February 2013 to positive response from critics, and a good opening at the box office[8][9] and Moushumi won her second National Film Award for Best Actress and Runa Laila and Sabina Yasmin jointly won their sixth and thirteenth National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer respectively at the 38th National Film Awards and Moushumi nominated for Best Actress in popular choice category at the 16th Meril-Prothom Alo Awards.[10][11][12]
