Devdas (1955)

 Dilip Kumar lived Devdas. Such was the impact of this obsessive, melancholic character on the actor's mind that his psychiatrist advised him to steer clear of tragic roles for some time in the interest of his sanity.

Kumar's well-established image as a tragic hero lent itself perfectly to the passionate but fickle protagonist of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel.

Under Bimal Roy's skillful direction, Dilip Kumar internalised every nuance of Devdas's pathetic being, his

 
    permanently creased forehead, his sometimes profound, often senseless rambling and his somnolent eyes. At the hands of this consummate actor, a miserable man was magnified into a larger-than-life hero.
