This is one CD that I never tire of listening. The sound quality is fantastic, the voices exquisite. Each track is strong and epic in its own right - my personal favourites are "Maar Daala", "Silsila Chahaat Ka", and "Dola Re Dola". Even though I have absolutely no idea what they're singing about (just vague recollections of the subtitles from the DVD), the songs are beautiful. This CD is not just for fans of Bollywood - it is pleasing to everyone I've made listen to this CD.

What a wonderful soundtrack. I am not Indian or Asian, but I enjoyed every minute of this soundtrack. If you are a fan of world music, you need this in your collection. I have heard Indian music before, but nothing like this! Its a pleasant (and delicious) surprise.

From the airy and light-hearted romantic track "Bairi Piya" to the exotic and intriguing danceable rhythms of "Doola Doola" and "Maar Daala," the cd is a masterpiece. Definitely listen to "Bairi Piya" more than once!

You won't be dissapointed when you buy this cd.

Admittedly, a great measure of Indian music turns me off, much the same way that most Western pop music turns me off--it can be overtly cheesy and tedious, especially when it's blaring down on you via crappy speakers in some random rickshaw during rush hour. This soundtrack, however, is exquisite--if you're a fan of Rahman, I would say this soundtrack is better than any of his soundtracks on the whole. While watching Shahrukh generally makes me squirm (his over-acting and caricatured boyish humor is a fixture in Indian cinema), the movie was worth it for the music (even though it took Shahrukh over an hour to die--why does it always take him so damn long to die? and why does he have to torture us all so in the process?). In any event, buy the CD. If you can stomach Shahrukh, the movie is as least visually and musically stunning. Abhi mai khatam ho gayi.

I own both the DVD & the soundtrack for three years now and every time I watch/listen to them, it just keeps getting better. The CD music quality is just absolutely brilliant! I'm used to hearing all types of Bollywood music and other Asian artist from my Dad on the old 60 and 90-minute tapes
(WHOA! You remember those?!) So I know how vast the Asian music industry's quality of music, has improved to meet today's 21st century standards.

Devdas just sums up all that hidden talent the Asian community has to offer. The movie equally displays the highest standard of film quality as, Devdas sets the record for the most $$$ spent on an Asian film in regards to cinematography, plot, props and actual film quality itself. The cameras used to film the movie were that of a CGI-only based film.

I can hardly wait until the next big Bollywood hit. I only hope future big budget films will at least try to aspire too and/or exceed the expectations of Devdas fans like myself.

i love india, the arts, customs etc... it is a beautiful culture ancient and sacred. i own the film and cd as well i give it five stars for drama and epic quality. bollywood never fails when it comes to creative asthetic performance and entertainment. complete devotion.

If you are non-Indian, this is the CD for you! If you are Indian, you need to buy this now!
