A H Shor played the role in the Saigal Devdas. Motilal in Dilip Kumar Devdas. Natural question is who played Chunilal in the P C Barua (Bengali) Devdas? For question about movies, cast, songs etc of the films made in Bengal, my go-to person is Dr J P Guha. I asked him and he sent me this picture with P C Barua and Amar Mullick.
Thank you Dr Guha!
