DEV D--THE MOVIE

I first heard from my friend about this film. He had liked the film very much;so i decided to download the movie & watch it at home.

From Google & Wikipedia i could deduce some facts about the movie; the apercu apparently seemed that its a modern day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel Devdas and directed by Anurag Kashyap.

All i knew about the director was that he had written the script for the film Satya(1998). i had liked Satya very much & was encouraged to think that Dev-d would atleast be as good as Satya if not better.Abhay deol was also someone i knew as capable of being a good actor.so i had the wish & hope in my heart that this would be a good watch for me..But as they say “if wishes where horses,beggars would ride them”

I wont write about the story, but I would surely like to opine that having spent a nice weekend in watching this film i felt confused & forced to think & contemplate. Its about love, but not the one which soothes the mind.Its about the Love of Dev who wants to have exclusivety over Paro & her body even after she has married someone else.

Its about care & concern,but not the normal concern we are allowed to express in society, its the concern of paro for dev even after being married to someone else..care which leads her to agree to make love to dev but her soul prevents her from doing that.

Its about what bad times do to a person,as they did to chanda but such bad times arent only what happened to her but a part of it is what she did to herself or rather allowed being done to her.its about addiction of drugs,lure of money & how life teaches us a lesson in different ways.Eventually its about what, how & where we learn our lessons .On the whole if you have appetite to contemplate in a pensive mood & your life seems confused or messed;watch this movie to get a new insight into the existing problems & well who knows you might solve your troubles as well..

this film is Not an EMOTIONAL ATYACHAAR..do give it a try folks
