Dev.D

This movie is a perfect blend of Amazing picturization and On-point music. In some way I felt this movie was ahead of it's time, because movies back then in 2009 only made their way to people through big screens, which were majorly dominated by love story, action genre films by the same famous actors. This movie does not disappoint you at all. The main lead, Dev is more shown as the bad guy here, and the ladies are shown to be the driving factor of the whole movie. The actors all did a fabulous job in their respective roles. This love story is a unique one and I felt people can learn something from the mistakes of the characters.

Anurag took a classic a showed us reality drugs alcohol mms scandal. Etc(not telling u everything) now the performances kalki and abhay are always good now the actress playing paro also did it effortlessly the dialogues are un apologetic and back ground score is amazing and its very innovative the singers singing the way dev feels in not something extremely special but added to dev's drink with chuni(scene) the way the.

Dev D is modernistic grown up Hindi cinema...it has a cool,freaky,rustic appeal to it..Abhay deol has delivered yet another strong performance after movies like Manorama six feet under and Ek chaalis ki last local,he has certainly carved a niche for himself...dev D shows the more aggressive,rebellious,and carefree nature of youth of today...d songs are really gud and keeps d feel of the movie alive....paros role is extremely gud 2....just luv d tracks.. "pardesi" and "nayan tarse"...its a cool movie to watch at least once...(specially for the amazing soundtracks like emotional attyachar!)

Ye ek god like movie hai , story ko bahot hi epic tarike se filmaya gaya hai background score abko or trippy hone ka ehsaah karayego. And iska music itna jabardatt banaya gaya hai ki aap kafi salo tak sunoge shayad esi movie se diffrent music ka chalan baha hai.. bahot story bahot nice hai like if a person loose himself will loose everything at the end.

I had watched Anurag Kashyap's earlier works like 'No Smoking', 'Black Friday', 'Gangs of Wasseypur 1', etc. However, nothing prepared me for the ride that was Dev D. I must admit that I am rather late on watching this movie, that was released in 2009. However I am glad that I did. This movie is no less, than any movie made by any of Hollywood's top Directors. It has rebooted the entire Devdas Genre, and given it an entirely new perspective. Shahrukh Khan's Devdas, just simply pales in comparison. The visuals in this movie are completely breathtaking. Raw as well as stylish. Completely blows your mind. Esp the shoots around Paharganj in Delhi. Plus the dizzy camera-work, that very often show a head-on perspective of Dev. The background score is also commendable. A decade ago, movies such as these were unthinkable. Dev D surely deserves to be listed on IMDb top 250.

Hi Anurag, Here are few things I want to say after having watched this movie on big screen last night... 1. The movie is truly world class. Please take it to every film festival in the world. I am the biggest movie fan I have ever known and I bow before you on this bravura attempt. India needs more directors like you. 2. Dev D's soul reverberates in every youth of today. Unlike the novel and like the youth of today, our "Dev D" is also perched between 'Desi' mind and 'Ultra-Mod' lifestyles and struggles on a daily and nightly basis. 3. Danny Boyle's suggestions have been optimally used. The journey of the Coke-infested DevD's mind is visual treat. As a movie fan, I feel the camera work and positioning sets the tone and gives 3-D like experience. 4.I want to share more of my thoughts with you, including some story lines which I think only you can put on the screen.

Firstly I've rated this 7 out of 10, film starts off well enough but I think its too long - about 45 minutes too long. We know Dev drinks alcohol/drugs but must we watch this and digest this non stop for a further 45mins? Would have been a decent modern classic, but its just too long and I myself started to lose interest after the intermission because of the above. The film does tackle some real life events which have been documented in reviews and I think its a good lesson for everyone esp young people. How a silly simple mistake can turn your world upside down and the dangers of ego,drink,drugs etc. The part I didn't like was when Chanda spoke to her father in that tone and language - Id hate to think this portraying as the norm in modern Indian continent. I also found Dev's character souless, with hardly any feeling for his family or anyone else. Except for both women!
