Dev D Review / Comments

I saw 'Dev D' today. 

I now understand the meaning of the poster, Abhay Deol with big red lips....

Its a brilliant script and well directed movie. The script is so strong that it has not left any loop holes for you to question or think on any missing facts. I think that is the usp of the movie. The script keeps you engaged at all times.

Infact Devdas as a concept has always interested the crowd and always been a bold concept to showcase. However this movie has been over the edge at times for those watching it with family.

With the western approach that Kashyap has brought into the Devdas story, the uncivilized, crude, and foul language is the cheery on the cake. Well not a very nice thing to be proud of, but this is what comes in the Devdas packing.

Devdas story originally is the psychological story of an unbehaved kid who is taken away from his mother's love as a punishment. This led’s him to lose respect for all around. The replication of this is shown on his remaining life as a person who always falls flat while trying to achieving anything he loves.

This is shown beautifully in the movie 'Dev D'. Him being cheated psychological when ever he tries to get close to any girl. Though the girls love him and he loves them in return, but they never able to have a good healthy time together.

Deol has done a fascinating job in the movie. He acting demonstrates the soul of the character. I have seen his other movies and him toning his body down for this movie just shows the professionalism. I think Bollywood has got another dedicated method actor.

Cheers.
