As Dilip said: Devdas’s character was a child trapped in a man’s body.

I still remember Dilip's dialogue: KAUN KAMBHAKHT JEENE KE LIYE PEETA HAI.where he gives went to his despair. In fact, all the three names: Devdas, Paro, and Chandramukhi are universally known and are often used in proverbs and parodies. Dilip Kumar has excelled himself in the role of the frustrated alcoholic lover, on the path of self-destruction.
BAIRI PIYA OCTOBER 2010 MOVIE
When I saw this movie as an adult, the feeling was totally different. As a kid, I did not understand it and even the songs I did not like. Now what can one say about Bimal Roy's Devdas? It has passed into the Hall of Fame of Indian Classics. Thanks for the excellent review, Bollyviewer! And to cap it all, the film comes framed in Kamal Bose’s lovely black and white cinematography which makes the simple sets a thing of beauty. She looked glowingly beautiful, danced very gracefully and was very sweet in the scenes where Chandramukhi takes care of Devdas. And the performances were mostly good, with only occasional lapses into hamming - something that all the three leads indulged in, at times! I usually love Suchitra Sen, but here it was Vyjayanthimala who was my favourite. For the rest, the dramatics were uniformly understated, making it a very quiet sort of film, in spite of all the high drama (a man destroying himself for LOVE!) it incorporates. Plus, it sets the stage for what follows, showing up Devdas’s spoilt character and Paro’s unwillingness to be bullied or humbled. Baby Naaz and the actor playing young Devdas did a great job and their interactions were so close to that of real-life children. My favourite part of the movie was young Devdas and Paro’s friendship. Considering how much I dislike the story (you didn’t realise that, did you?), there was still a lot to like in the film.
