Captivating movie !
Admirable film.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This movie tell all the wrong things which barely happens in life.Movie shows a girl do wrong and later become prostitute, a boy is mischievous and parent send him London and he get even worse. Today parent never keeps their child in this way. And any child or person do not spoils himself like this. Too much shown in movie. It creates headache, its a s-h-i-t movie.
This is not your old-fashioned Bollywood film, with colored saris unfurled in green fields with dancing waves of wheat while romance blooms back at home in spite of interference from the older generation: when those musicals are good they are very good indeed.Instead, this is a gritty modern take on misunderstood romance, on living an attitude rather than a reasoned existence. The story is brilliantly filmed in many ways, with lots of electric neon color, the stunning visuals backed by a modern beat, a trio of moon dancers tossed in at one point for ironic counterpoint. I thought the young actress Kalki Koechlin was sensationally effective as a young woman on the run from her past, but the lead, Abhay Deol, although magnetic, can only carry moody angst so far, and after almost two hours of sulky, unshaven drugged-out, drunken staggering, Id had enough--how many times do I really want Abhay to get drunk or stoned or beat up?. It is fascinating to see the Bollywood product evolving in modern ways, but although sincerity was evident from this film, it went on about an hour too long: someone get the scissors!
DevD is modern adaptation of Saratchandra Chatterjee's masterpiece "Devdas" but the characters are loosely based as in the novel, leaving the clichés behind. Anurag Kashyap is a synonym of vision and he is cultivating the Indian Cinema for the global viewers. While watching DevD you will realize that it is a Magnum Opus of the new generation cinema. The Crew of the movie consists endowed people like Anurag Kashyap, Abhay Deol, Adity Motwane, Amit Trivedi , Kalki Koechlin and Mahie Gill.The concept was given by Abhay Deol and executed brilliantly by Anurag Kashyap. Set in the milieu of Punjab and Delhi with a scintillating cinematography makes this movie beautiful.Abhay Deol as protagonist has done a magnificent job. It gives a feel of "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" or "Requiem for a dream" but in its natural technique. Mahie Gill is awesome in his very first movie as a liberating Indian girl. Kalki is cute and plays her role of Chandramukhi with elegance in her debut. It is hard to have sympathy or apathy with the characters at the same time. The background score and music is flawless and refreshing with several moods.Finally it is Anurag who is taking the cinema to next level and the day is not far when we have the Oscar Award. Go for the "EMOTIONAL ATYACHAAR"
Dev.D, Anurag Kashyap's contemporary take on Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's classic novel Devdas is simply extraordinary. Kashyap's direction is excellent and his interpretation of the original story is a perfect example of how creative and artistic an adaptation of this sort can be. The film is set partly in Punjab and partly in Delhi and captures the atmosphere of both places with precision. Kashyap masterfully portrays the effervescence, colourfulness and rusticity of the rural Punjab areas from one side, and then explores the morbid and dark reality of the urban Delhi. The film is very realistic and aspects which contribute to this include the simple writing, the slick editing and cinematography and the natural acting. It deals with such themes as sexuality, love, drugs, prostitution, self-destruction, and complex relationships. The film's fast-paced narrative style, which includes authentic dialogues, serious proceedings and many many songs (all of which are lovely, modern, and appropriately selected), is very unique and matter-of-fact. Abhay Deol stars as a modern-day Devdas, and he does an excellent job. He shows Dev's confusion, complacence, gradual ruin, and later his self-acceptance and coming to terms, with conviction and depth. Kashyap introduces two young girls in the leading roles. Mahie Gill is the first, and she is first-rate in her debut performance as Paro - very believable and impulsive. Kalki Koechlin is less impressive at first, but grows on you as the story goes by. At some points in the initial portions it looks like she's struggling with her lines, but in the second half, she confidently turns into a charming young lady and ultimately leaves a mark. The film's ending is fantastic and unexpected. To sum it up, Dev.D is Kashyap's gem. It is a prime quintessence of Hindi cinema's capability and coming-of-age. I recommend you to watch it.
