True and both Devdas and Parineeta is written by the same writer and is set in the backdrop of a 1920's and 1930's Bengal !
ML's are exactly how you have described them Vidya, but they are also complex and weak. And the jealously and lack of trust on the FL lead the ML's to a path of self-destruction and the story ends happily, only when the FL pulls him out of his dilemma and self destructive mode !
The FL's are deeply and forever in love with the ML, no matter what the get in return. The ML's love wholeheartedly but want the FL's only to themselves. And expects the FL to spell it out that "he is her world" and "main sirf apki hu" !
Even the Saif Vidya starrer parineeta was like that!
One thing is projected in all these stories is that ML’s are very liberal , polished , good hearted, soft spoken etc but they are all shown to be jealous or insecure which masks their good qualities.. I have only seen these two movies and am now watching Jhanak! Their graph is always same!!
