Best movie of this year hands down!
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
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.
This movie has given me hope about Indian cinema. This is post modern Indian cinema. Anurag Kashyap demonstrates that it is possible to make a slick modern day cinema with characters that are very Indian. No need to resort to copying scenes from Hollywood big budget John Woo style movies to give movies a modern look. Dev D's India is modern India. Don't get me wrong. This is not an attempt to make a movie with a message or a moral. This is storytelling the way stories should be told. No overacting, not too many cinematic liberties, no in your face emotions. But you still feel the pain of the characters and maybe (if you have had dark moments in life) you can even relate to them.This is also not completely realistic. There are many surreal and psychedelic moments which have been appropriately depicted using interesting camera angles and even more interesting background score.Amit Trivedi's music is without precedence. The entire 18 song soundtrack can stand on its own independent of the movie. Yet in the movie the music is seamless except for maybe a few tracks which needed to grab your attention.The direction is excellent, realistic, almost flawless. The acting is superb. Especially Abhay Deol as Dev.All in all a movie worth more than one viewing. If you want to enjoy the direction, watch it at least twice.
I watched this movie because everyone I knew had been raving about it. I haven't watched Shahrukh Khan's version; but did watch the one with Dilip Kumar and thought that it was superlative. Unfortunately, Dev D left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The film has very poor direction. However to counteract it, the film makers have included copious amount of gratuitous sex to attract the attention of Indian audiences. The music is very good; however unfortunately it does not offer much else. It is really upsetting to watch the poor directorial effort. The acting of Abhay Deol and Paro is OK. Chanda is played very poorly. Forget about this one unless you wish to watch off screen lovemaking and dialogues with double entendre (to skirt around the censors). Go for the original instead.
Original piece based on contemporary issues and scandals. Covers lot of present stuff. This is modern devdas of 2009!. It has nice portray of all characters and played by most of them. Writer has taken concepts from various news-headlines and makes references to them in scenes too.Well, in Indian context the review is as follows: This is not a love story of 1960s anymore. The couple's breakoff is shown like any ordinary and real, then protagonist's emotional give up. Spoiler: He accepts the girl who is professional CSW, though she sleeps with many men. However, he couldn't accept the so-called homely girl, who had one sexual relationship in past! So true. Plot's flow is perfect, shown in three parts.I reduce my points on musical part of the movie. There are too much musical tracks in it. Well, the plot moves on during the tracks as well, but still. This brings lack of drama for characters. I quite dislike the movies, except they are "musical"( typical rom-com category with lot of tracks). May be this is done to add commercial value to the movie.
