ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

sumranjots Insanity finds a new avatar in this celluloid flux that moves like a vagabond. Erratic from the word go, the most audacious display of characterization, brazen , bold, and in your face...from the rustic fields of Punjab, to the mean streets of Delhi with a detour to London and some snow-capped destination, this voyage of voyeurism is deftly told by Mr. Debonair director , Anurag Kashyap. The message comes in Vodka bottles, in smokes and fumes, and in graffiti drenched dark dingy rooms and sometime in pink papers.We have all hell breaking loose here...with a no holds barred , dare to bare,pervert look at the contemporary Devdas...complete with Paro , Chandramukhi and Chunni Lal!God Must Be Crazy ? Otherwise, Paro is not a damsel Chandramukhi is not just a hooker...and Chunni Lal is ain't no booker ?!And what about Devdas...the quintessential lover boy who looses it all in the bottle? Well, well, well....he is out there...a Punjabi munda on the rocks! He doesn't care a damn about love...what matters is whats on the platter...Groundbreaking Music (hikknaal, mahi menu, Pardesi ), earth shattering lyrics (Emotional Attaychar, Saali Khushi), Mindbending screenplay, Earthy cinematography and topnotch performances by Abhay Deol (Dev), Mahie Gill (Paro) and Chanda (Kalki Keochlin)....this is heady cocktail of modern sociology.Mind it....the flavor is strong. Incredibly Intoxicating!

Ajit Tiwari 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"

maheshkaushal Simply superb..........its only for particular taste bud's.Will not be liked by everyone......u need to be vulgarian to like the movie.....as I said its only for people with particular kind of taste buds.......if u like the movie u will says its legendary movie......else u will completely scrap it.U cant have a mediocre liking or disliking of it.That itself says about the movie........if u like it....welcome to the group....else C ya later.Abhay deol has been a very gud actor and this movie just brings the best of him. There are very few minimal flaws in the movie.....in fact if u just look at the goofs up suggested by the IMDb site are not really the flaws. If you look into it with a different prospect they look just fine.The movie just cannot be liked by the customarily traditional janta of Hindi movie goes who just like the masala to be there in a movie for it be good. As I said it's just for those particular taste buds only.

Peter Young 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.
