14 characters · Movie

Devdas /DAYV-daas/ The tragic protagonist, a wealthy but emotionally weak man who destroys himself through love and addiction.

Chandramukhi /CHUN-druh-MOO-kee/ A courtesan with a golden heart, who falls deeply in love with Devdas and offers him unconditional support. Kaushalya /KAW-shul-YAH/ Devdas's mother, a proud and traditional woman who contributes to the tragic outcome through her rigidity. Sumitra /soo-MIH-trah/ Parvati's mother, a kind and understanding woman who supports her daughter's choices, but is powerless to prevent the tragedy. Bhuvan /BOO-van/ Parvati's husband, a wealthy and much older zamindar, who provides her with security but not happiness. Dwija /dwi-ja/ Devdas's elder brother. Haridas /HAH-ree-daas/ Devdas's father, a strict and authoritarian figure. Kalibabu /KAH-lee-BAH-boo/ The abusive and morally corrupt manager of Bhuvan Choudhary. Kumud /koo-MOOD/ Dwija's wife. Chunnilal /CHUN-nee-laal/ Devdas's loyal but dissolute friend and drinking companion who introduces him to Calcutta's world of liquor and pleasure. A morally ambiguous figure who enables Devdas's self-destruction while remaining genuinely fond of him. Yashomati /YAA-sho-muh-tee/ Parvati's devoted mother who witnesses the doomed love between Paro and Devdas. She watches helplessly as class barriers and family pride destroy her daughter's chances at happiness. Mahendra /muh-HEN-druh/ The wealthy zamindar who marries Parvati after her family's opposition to Devdas. He provides her social respectability but not the love she truly desires, making him a figure of quiet tragedy rather than villainy. Zohra /ZOH-ruh/ A fellow courtesan and companion to Chandramukhi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 adaptation. She embodies the loyalty and warmth within the kotha, contrasting the transactional world of the mujra with genuine sisterhood.
