Dev D - the modern adapataion of Sharatchandra Chaterjee " DevDas". Anurag Kashyaps's adaptaion of Dev Das is modernaised. An MMS incident makes Chanda(Chandramukhi) a high profile escort. Dev das is not an alcoholic who drinks to death.He's a drug addict instead. It looks like an interesting take on the classic novel.
Devendra singh dhiilo is our Punjabi self-destrutive Dev D, much in contrast of the earlier sublime bengoli' Dev Mukherjee ' Devdas. Our modern DEv would ask pParo to send her nude photographs through e-mail. And even Paro is not the chaste and moral Paro.She'd ride on a bycycle in obnoxcios hours in the night to the 'Chane ke khett' to have some raw fun with her childhood beloved. This is one movie where you find it hard to understand if you liked the movie. Essentially,It's Anurag Kashap's movie,which always has a rebellous flavour. Chances are if you liked "no Smoking", you 'll like this to the core. If you didn't,You wont be able to decide if you liked the movie. You might find it a bit too abstract and boring at times. Anyway, Abhay Deol proves himself yet again. Natural to the core. Mahi Gill has done a decent Job. Kalki as a hooker Chanda by night and a college student in broad day light, shows sparks in some scenes. The unique Cinamatography captures the oblivion of the addict's world quite effectively.
On the music front,the songs of Dev D already created waves with 'emotional attyachar','saali Khushi','Nayan Tarse' and 'Yeh Duniya'.It already has become an unintentional musical though most of the songs are just playing in the background and not lip-synced.
Over all, A segment of the young crowd is going to love the movie.Not quite a stirrer for the masses though.
Hrithik Roshan, the superhero of bollywood who performs daredevilry acts on the screen, fears the red tape of law enforcing agencies so much that he avoided going to Lilavati hospital after injuring himself on the set of upcoming film ‘Kites.’

Even after the deletion of the sequence, the film has been accorded an ‘A’ certificate from the board, despite of heated arguments between the officials and Mukesh Bhatt, who wanted a u/a certificate for the film. Before arriving on this decision, the board officials had seen the entire ‘Raaz- The Mystery Continues’ last night with Mukesh Bhatt.Now, the only option open to producer Mukesh Bhatt is to approach the revising committee of the Censor Board. If revising committee did not find the sequence objectionable, it might allow the scene or at least might give the film u/a certification to enable it to reach to the wider audience.

You cannot fail to guess the magazine he's alluding to. The bitchy and daring "Stardust" of course. Also, The actor described paints Hritik's picture in my mind. Definitely the appearance of the Actor is inspired from Hritik .Just the appearance alright!!!The Character of the actor doesn't sound like Hritik at all.I guess only Stardust would dare telling you who it might be ?

SAIFTY LOCK Her day has drawn to an end. People are thronging for her time. Her face scrubbed clean of make-up shows signs of fatigue but the smile remains fixed as if it is a permanent fixture. Reclining in the comfort of her car she lets the façade fall. I almost feel guilty that I have a questionnaire to grill her through. We have been close for the longest time now but her frequent absentia has given us little opportunity to catch up. Even tonight she is headed to Delhi as she has her break and Saif is shooting there. Much against reasoning she has decided to travel without paraphernalia. But Bebo’s impulsiveness is as famous as her size zero.Today her dad is waiting for her at home. “He has a valid complaint; he hasn’t seen me for over four months. I am always either traveling or making appearance for my endorsements. I feel so guilty,” she says. As we enter her compound, sister Lolo is waiting to also be part of the family gathering. The two sisters compare parlour visits and hair colour seems to be the topic of the reunion. While the two don’t seem to be two superstarnis, they seem more like two young ladies exchanging make-up tips; it makes me feel like an outsider in a tightly private environment.

However, the only change at the new home will be that Babita is going to stay separately in another apartment of the same floor in the new building.
