Helmed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the love saga was based on the 1917 Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novel Devdas. The film revolves around Devdas Mukherjee (SRK), whose life goes downhill after his family forbids him from marrying Paro, (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). He then turns to alcohol and seeks refuge with a prostitute Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit Nene). While the elaborate decor, costumes and storyline remain etched in the hearts of fans, the film was best known for its poetic dialogues. Here’s taking a look at some that fans love to repeat even today.

Shah Rukh Khan: Babuji ne kaha gaon chhod do, sab ne kaha Paro ko chhod do, Paro ne kaha sharab chhod do, aaj tumne keh diya haweli chhod do, ek din aayega jab woh kahega, duniya hi chhod do.

Madhuri Dixit: Har dukh aane waale sukh ki chitthi hoti hai… aur har nuksaan hone waale fayde ka ishara

Shah Rukh Khan: Pyar ka karobaar toh bahut baar kiya hai, magar pyar sirf ek baar.
