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.
Read Stardust Magazine Review of Dev D
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.
