“Too young to understand it”: Shreya Ghoshal recalls Devdas’s global success

 

“I was too young and too naive to really understand what was going on back then. But Devdas went on to create such a massive international impact globally, and that was something I was never prepared for,” she said, looking back at the experience.

 

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Devdas went on to achieve significant recognition both in India and internationally, contributing to the global visibility of Indian cinema. The film’s music, including Ghoshal’s songs, also played a key role in its popularity and long-lasting cultural recall. Ghoshal’s debut with the film marked the beginning of a successful playback singing career, with her voice becoming closely associated with several iconic tracks in Hindi cinema. Over the years, she has continued to be a prominent name in the industry.

 

Bhansali, meanwhile, is known for his distinct filmmaking style, often characterised by elaborate visuals and emotionally driven narratives. His body of work has contributed to shaping large-scale storytelling in contemporary Indian cinema. The filmmaker is currently working on his upcoming project, Love and War, which is expected to be another ambitious addition to his filmography.

 

Ghoshal’s reflection on Devdas highlights how the film not only marked a turning point in her career but also became part of a larger moment when Indian cinema found wider recognition on the global stage.
