Showtimes & Past Screenings

Operatic in every sense of the word, Bhansali’s adaptation of the legendary Bengali novel features dazzling sets and costumes, impossibly beautiful stars, and stunning musical numbers. When star-crossed childhood sweethearts (Shah Rukh Khan and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai) are wrenched apart by circumstance and harsh societal strictures, it sends them both into a tragic downward spiral. An opulent spectacle and a grand, sweeping eulogy to eternal love lost, “Devdas has a grandeur the old Hollywood moguls would have loved.”— Richard Corliss, Time Magazine.

Rights and DCP provided by Eros Entertainment International.

The Northwest Film Center recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands. These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River. We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
