DevD is art at its best. Anurag Kashyap is a rare gem. The songs are too good and has variety. the cinematography is gripping. all the stars have acted very well but Abhay deol leads all of them. Devd is a bold movie with dark truths of life and destruction caused by love. a must watch for the people who loves parallel and quality cinema.

Defiantly a breakthrough film as it shows what any other hindi film has failed to project. The performances are wonderful and the story was nice but the climax should have been better. The music was awesome. Ditto for abhay deol!!

<p>I am, of all honesty, no fan of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s acclaimed novella, and I didn’t like either of the movie remakes in Hindi that I had seen so far. With the last remake being Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s mega epic, which starred Shah Rukh Khan as the lead character, I began wondering at the staleness of the storyline, that has remained stagnant despite the emergence of the 21st Century. Later, I watched Farhan Akhtar’s slick remake of the 1978 movie DON, and I started pondering over it, thinking that if Farhan could bring this movie to the 21st Century by changing its style, then maybe someone could even bring DEVDAS and present it to the youth in a different style – maybe even the whole crowd. Enter Anurag Kashyap – the guy who can do anything to bring his movies to true (and sometimes bitter) light. I had faith in the director after his first movie BLACK FRIDAY. Later, he released NO SMOKING, and maybe people didn’t like it, but I sat through the film and realized that it might not have been one of his finest works, but it was different – and it had a possibly strange message to convey. Out then comes the music of his new movie, DEV D, which, some people had told me, was a parody on the original Devdas. I had not expected anything of the music of DEV D, but listening to it completely blew my mind. And I knew I WAS going to catch up with this movie, somehow. Unfortunately, I NEVER caught up with the movie in the cinemas, but got the DVD. And a few days ago, I watched it. And what did I find? That the movie was the most satisfying and spellbinding experience out of the recent trash in Bollywood being released, is the most precise opinion I can give of it.</p> <p>I believe Anurag Kashyap is one of the most straightforward directors in Indian cinema. His new flick, DEV D, pulls out all the stops, replaces whisky with drugs and vodka, dancers with prostitutes, and everything else with everything else et al. It is ofcourse a risky proposition, but Anurag has given out a convincing and believable portrayal, which worked!</p>

Dev D is an exceptionally movie in my point of view! Well not only mine.. it's a critically acclaimed movie as well. Kashyap's done an excellent job. Atleast the first half will leave anyone who watches it spellbound.

A good, unique and entertaining film however the second half got a bit slow. There were many great parts and the overall film was very well put together. However, the second half wasn't as entertaining as the first. The first half started off great and things picked up quite early. This film is really bold compared to other hindi films and the director deserves credit for taking this risk. The songs were good and the picturization was great. I loved the MMS scandal story which was told through the song "Yeh Meri Zinda hai". It was very innovative. Overall a good film worth watching if you want something different.

Dev D. What is it? Just because you bend the moulds and use bold concept, language, scenes etc does a movie become path breaking? Who is doing what in this movie? I stopped watching it when Paro beats Sunil as he whistle blows his escapades with her to Dev. I knew how the movie is going to go forward. I could even guess the modern avatar of Chandramukhi. Predictable, or what? Let me understand this a little more clearly, it’s obvious that Paro is been doing everything in his absence and that’s what director wants to depict very covertly in suggestive dialogues and half finished sentences Putting it explicitly it reads……………….. A young Punjabi girl now a day does everything before marriage still loves somebody with all her heart is utterly shameless in front of her parents. (Anurag, you are the dude!) In a disguised form and with the help of a literary masterpiece Anurag Kashyap wants to float pornographic concepts. This is just what we need, after our little English boy Danny showed how a slum infested India is shining through call centers and KBC. Also what is Dev doing? Why is he drinking so much, he likes Paro she is available to him,he is a modern guy and been in London but just does not accept that she is been sleeping around. How impossible? This is a psychological, situational fallacy Old Devadas was bound by tradition ,in a rigid society and this frustration he tries to mitigate with whiskey. What is Dev D frustrated for…he isn’t suppressed in any ways. Either he is impotent or totally bipolar. He takes to drinking because director wants him to be a wastrel; this does not springs from the plot. Turn of the century dialogues my foot......Bandit queen had turn of the century dialogues in early 90s. I am extremely uncomfortable with a six or 8 year old crooning “kabhi mere saath koi raat gujar…………..â€. I am utterly disgusted with Dev D becoming mainstream. Not because of its explicitness but because of the covert way,sexual symbolism and blending of porno concepts with a literary classic. This is more dangerous than making porn itself, I can still understand Paris Hilton and Kim kardashiyan in doing porno, atleast its just base desires, green money and pure trash not glorified with classic storyline. Dev D,I don’t!Can’t understand it! This way to twist human dilemma, desires, carnal needs in chocolate candy marketing wrapper and selling to young Kids…………………why? We were never afraid of sexuality, built khajuraho, wrote the sutras around the basic carnal sins and revered it. What have we come down to? Dev D. That is still OK………this being called art ,path breaking, revolutionary………uff…just should make any educated person writhe in his own puke. Dev D. is retrograde; it pushes Bollywood back in covert symbols and suggestions.We have had enough of that with hero and heroine grinding their pelvis suggestively .Hero running his hands a milli meter away from leading lady’s butts and bossom. So what did Dev D do deiffrent? Like remix now there will be spate of classics bent and twisted with VULGAR dialogues, suggestive scenes and off course empty story lines. Here is a plot hole for all of you Why is Paro printing her naked photo from a studio, this is set in modern times doesn’t she have a camera phone which can download JPGs in PC so that she can directly send it to Dev. No she has to print it, scan it, running all around, Anurag just wants to tantalize our minds and make us more dumb with a handful dosage of his gyan ,his version of Devadas and his ideas of modern sexuality. Call it a good entertainment .I will accept it Call it art? No Way! I am young, modern and I take part in almost all vices but I still have some intelligence left. Abhijeet Dudhagi
