vishaal811 Take a bow Anurag Kashyap!! With Dev D, he has created a modern masterpiece of Bollywood. This is anything but the typical brainless crap that comes on a weekly basis. A modern rendition of the acclaimed novel Devdas, Dev D is able to show a real depiction of India and the performances by everyone including the supporting actors who have a few lines deserves praise. In particular, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin proved their acting chops in playing complex characters which definitely deserves some recognition. The cinematography is magnificent and the film is a visual treat. However the main reason for the brilliance of this film is its well-written screenplay. Anurag Kashyap has never shied away from doing things differently and with this movie he has proved that he is the best director in Bollywood. As an audience, I believe that we must watch movies like these. Only if such movies are successful will other filmmakers be willing to take risks which would greatly improve the quality of movies made.

Prabhgeet Sandhu I've seen this movie more than 15 times. The director (Anurag kashyap) has done a brilliant and outstanding job & showed the real meaning of film making. The screenplay is chiseled with genuine characters & their performance is highly appreciable. The art of photography is mind-blowing which has never been seen yet in any other Bollywood movie. I consider this movie in the category of "Masterpiece collection" in Bollywood. It's a fine blend of contemporary drama & factual romance with perfect music as a luscious ingredient. The storyline revolves around three main characters dev(abhay deol) whose ego doesn't let him accept his mistake, Paro(Mahi gill)accepts her parents decision after being insulted by Dev, Chanda aka leni ( kalki koechlin) after being disowned by her family & humiliation pushes her into prostitution. Story reveals the connectivity of both characters dev and chanda after sharing their past melancholy. The most appealing factor of this film is its environment with classic scenes of masterful editing. The way its music connect with the situations gives a realistic touch to story. The lifestyle of characters depict the real picture of today's cause for relationship issues eventually leads to usage of alcohol and drugs to find solace. Some of the content is offensive so it's not a family movie. Heads off for acting and direction once again. People who don't know anything about the 'Art House cinema', please don't watch this movie.

abhijeetb84 at first i was reluctant to see this movie..donno why? but one day i thought of taking a chance and this movie just brilliant in all aspects.Mr.Anurag Kashyap is talented director & storyteller...believe it or not...but he's just admirable with this creation..though this movie is not liked by many...but those who saw this or about to see this there won't be any regrets..Bollywood is only known for its romance action and loads of songs.but GenX directors like Anurag Kashyap,Farahaan akhthar,Siddharth anand making Bollywood comparable with all other ___woods" in the world.and i wud be very thankful to Anurag Kashyap for Udaan & Dev D..keep directing Anurag.

Mukund Khatiwoda After waiting for month or a two, my friend ( who wants to watch it again !!) and I booked tickets. A lady just behind our seat was yelling what the hell is "Dv D". My friend and I couldn't stop smiling. When I settled in my seat to witness the spectacle, I couldn't help but feel the buzz, the excitement in the dim lit cinema hall, with people shouting hooting EA even before the movie started. I was damn sure, this was gonna be a helluva ride. And it was much much more than that. It was….. hmmm.. Read on.From where the hell should I start. The film begins with the clash of Dev and Paro. They flirt, dirty talk, make out but just before the finale the misunderstandings trigger their arrogance, temper and egos. They just hit off each other. Sparks fly here and there. And after finally bad mouthing each other they settle and decide to move on. But for Dev, the emotional Atyachaar has just begun. And then, as the age old story of Devdas goes, he drowns himself in booze, dope which finally leads to self destruction.The main 'attraction' of the movie was indeed 'Emosional Atyachaar'. And what a song. And what a 'music video' !! Patna ke Presleys kick start the song with sheer retro/whacky brilliance. Paro cuts loose on the dance floor, and apna Dev boozing to the brim vomits, then trying to walk up to Paro collapses. Whoa!!! I just cant stop gushing. EA was an event!!!!!Coming back to the movie,The detailing is phenomenal, the dialogue, the graffiti, the camera, a "real" Punjabi wedding, the abuse, the bong, the drugs,the momos,the brothels ,the black goggles and even the sex everything is so well placed and thought of that you just cant stop ur self from standing up and giving AK a bow for this work.The movie's progress was totally guided/dictated by the songs. The lovely rustic flavored Dhol Yara Dhol introduces to the world of Paro. The free spirited Yehi meri Zindagi takes us through Chanda's back story. Pardesi plays during Abhay's first real 'trip' in an underground pub. Look out for the Dev's dip in water and the visuals that follow. The movies from the west have used it often, but to see it on the Indian screen was a treat. The three break dancing dudes stuff was pure insane brilliance. Also look out for the three dudes when they sing Saali khushi. Hilarious!!!!Casting is another high point here, with ABHAY standing tall and Mahi,she was just as raw as the character wanted her to be( I wonder if a director ever before dared to show what testosterone charged young lovers talk on phone like the brilliant "have u touched yourself?" in the starting scene ,couldn't stop smiling).But that kick which we all aspire in life and mostly while boozing and doping, is here delivered by the intoxicating visuals which follow the glass break on the wall. EA rock version plays in the background and hits you like a snort of coke (just imagining..). It was a roller coaster ride.After I left the hall I couldn't find a word to describe it. I was just needing somebody who could ask me how was the movie and I could say " awesome". Luckily when I reached home my brother asked me how was it???..............
