Dev - D

-->DEV-D, it’s a marvel... This is not the first time when I watched this movie... but the difference was that before yesterday I always thought that this movie is a tortured result of badly researched movie, DEVDAS. An absolute Bakwas kind of... Total atyachaar, complete nonsense movies... Show it to Kasab , perfect way to torture him.. such a sadistic movie... I don’t know what the director had in his mind....the whole movie revolves around S** and nothing else... heights of desperation... no emotions nothing... pathetic movie... its only for people with heights of desperation n no feelings.... But then I realised a different perspective of the movie...

Its simply a tale of human perception. Dev the protagonist is an, as much human as you and me with all the human faults... It has also an attempt to portray certain modern realities and lifestyle disorders facing the youth in India today... However, i think the scope seems very very narrow... When you see this movies you will clearly get to understand the difference between love and lust by the character of Chanda (A prostitute).. For we've seen thousands of bollywood movies with true love and virtuous lead hero movies, which never aligned with the reality world.. No doubt this movie was 10 yr ahead of it's times but I feel it’s about time, people should start giving chance to reality than liking same old unrealistic love stories.. I know it will hurt to SRK's fan but its true that this movie is tight slap on SRK's Devdas...
I decided it might not be excellent writing, so I wouldn't expound it, but I came upon a feeling that the Dev-D is the story of a love beyond all else... even life... The saga of a man Dev who loved, loved and just loved paro... and unable to bear the agony of a life without Paro.. which made alcohol and drugs as his constant companion... but his being out of control on drugs and booze.. and as an exchange, hang out with a prostitute(chanda) is the dark most side of the movie.. I personally feel that the break up of any serious long relationship should not come up in exchange of alcohol or prostitute.... life never stops for anybody or anything. .. You got to learn and live everyday...


But then the best part of this movie is it has directly alignment with the real world.... no falatu bakwas... straight forward movie... I did enjoy a few scenes & dialogues though (Paro, main aa raha hun and the bus ticket scene) and especially the hilarious "Emotional atyachaar" song. The scene that I really loved, which spoke a thousand words are the scene when Dev hugs chanda and tells her " Beta its ok...." and the end of the movie was loving!!! Music and background scene would compel to watch the movie the second time... A must watch movie!!!


Kudos to Abhay deol and Anuarag kashyap.
