Devdas, Mr Bhansali's reimagining of the Bengali novel by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay, released on July 12, 2002.
It featured lavish sets, spectacular costumes and a now-legendary dance number featuring actresses Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit, who played Paro and Chandramukhi.
Devdas was screened at the Cannes Film Festival the year it released - it was Aishwarya's first time at Cannes and she's never missed an appearance since.
On Twitter, fan clubs have provided pictures of SRK and Aishwarya at Cannes 14 years ago:

In a live Twitter chat on Monday, SRK was asked by a fan whether or not he should 'express (his) feelings.' SRK's answer referenced the film and its lovelorn, alcoholic hero:
