Dev D

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Comedy

Remember Anurag Kashyap?He does not make movies that pander to the lowest common denominator.He makes it for himself.
No Smoking was a high concept horror-comedy mess.It left movie goers nauseated.I frankly enjoyed the experience.
Dev D, is Abhay Deol's concept, but has Anurag Kashyap all over it.
A Modern reinterpretation of Sarat Chandra's Devdas has Abhay Deol playing Dev D(Devendra Dhillon), Mahie Gill playing Paro(Parminder) and Kalki Koechlin playing Lenis a.k.a Chanda.

What can I say.You will laugh at all the dark humour in the movie.Dev says in hindi what he meant in english 'Paro, Mein aaraha hoon' after looking at her 'bina kapdon wali' photo on his laptop.All the boys started laughing.One clueless girl sitting next to her boyfriend started asking what the joke actually meant and the dude was totally tongue tied and blabbering.Ha Ha! I wouldn't want to be in his place.


Dev D is a brilliant movie.Within the first few minutes it would have managed to grab your attentiion by its surreal screenplay and wacky dialogues.

The soundtrack is brilliant, especially the Indian Elvises and their Emotional Atyachar.
Abhay Deol is great...you will want to hate his character Dev D for his inherent self-destructiveness,Mahie shines as Paro,who instead of pining for her lover, quickly sizes up the situation and moves away.
Kalki...weird looking gori girl...sorry, but the accepted stereotypes are beautiful gori mems with prefereably long blonde locks and beak like nostrils.
Chunni played by Dibyendu Bhattacharya is starkly funny.
The movie incorporates new scandals like the MMS scandal and the Drunken Driving Accident scandal into the story as a way of reinventing the story.
All in all watch the movie...but if you are a prude, like one of my friends, you just might walk out mid way through the movie!
