Disheartened Devdas gives up on his love and Paro gets married to a much older man who has a grown-up son and daughter. Devdas realises he is unable to give up his love for Paro and returns to the village only to find that she is married. He returns to Calcutta and falls into bad company and alcohol. He is introduced to a dancer Chandramukhi who adores him and falls hopelessly in love with him. Devdas is not aware of Chandramukhi`s affection and love for him as most of his time is spent in an alcoholic stupor and lust for Paro.""
