He is a respected biggest legend of Hindi cinema, not just some guy.

Ganga Jamuna, Devdas, Yahudi, Mughal e Adam, Koh e noor and Shakti are some of his memorable films among many.

ufff..

Among the more than ten movies made about Devdas I - till now - only have watched the 1955 version (Bimal Roy, Dilip Kumar) and the 2002 version (SLB, SRK). I also read the novel.

However, deciding "who was the best in role of Devdas" is not my cup of tea as the two versions are absolutely different and did need a very different performance. My impression: Both were the best in the respective director's vision.

Bimal Roy's Devdas needed a restrained performance and Dilip delivered. I loved how the novel was adapted in this black&white movie.

SLB's movie wasn't an adaptation but his own vision based on the novel with a lead that had to maintain his position as title-character among four strong woman-characters. It was more a theatrical movie event, in almost every way a larger-than-life vision, a visual treat and targeting the heart rather than the mind. I read that Govinda and Salman had been contacted to play Devdas but declined. I think SRK gave a very good emotionally intense performance.

In my archive I've kept the review Baradwaj Rangan wrote about the 2002 Devdas which reflects well what I'm thinking myself:

Of course Original one

Dilip Kumar 😳

Shahrukh Khan trumps everyone else by a mile.

Dilip Kumar himself acknowledged that ANR's portrayal of Devdas is outstanding. It's true. ANR got it right. Devdas was a loser while most of the other actors portrayed him as a lover.ANR played it with so much subtilty.Even the direction and dialogues were so good and realistic and not dramatic and OTT like SLB's Devdas.

I just watched the 1953 Telugu movie and Dilip is right in praising Akkineni Nageswara Rao...I found him "livelier" than Dilip Saab.

Meanwhile, I've also watched Dev D with Abhay Deol playing Dev.

Honestly, I find that all the four performances I've now watched, are excellent.

Dev D is one of my favorite movies so I’ll pick Abhay
