Amidst the high expectations, an equally good response has been faced. Though many have said the film doesn´t touch perfectness, it has been wholly enjoyed by audiences all over the world, and more specifically overseas.

Devdas was always expected to do well overseas, as producer and financier Bharat Shah have said that in India he only need a 75% outcome to regain his costs for four weeks, and a good overseas outcome.

Well, thus far, the response overseas is overwhelming. The film has not only beat Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in terms of advance booking etc., but it is expected to do better in the upcoming weeks. Combine that with a bumper opening in India (which too beat K3G in many places), and chances look great for Sanjay Leela Bhansali´s magnum opus.
