Prabhgeet Sandhu I've seen this movie more than 15 times. The director (Anurag kashyap) has done a brilliant and outstanding job & showed the real meaning of film making. The screenplay is chiseled with genuine characters & their performance is highly appreciable. The art of photography is mind-blowing which has never been seen yet in any other Bollywood movie. I consider this movie in the category of "Masterpiece collection" in Bollywood. It's a fine blend of contemporary drama & factual romance with perfect music as a luscious ingredient. The storyline revolves around three main characters dev(abhay deol) whose ego doesn't let him accept his mistake, Paro(Mahi gill)accepts her parents decision after being insulted by Dev, Chanda aka leni ( kalki koechlin) after being disowned by her family & humiliation pushes her into prostitution. Story reveals the connectivity of both characters dev and chanda after sharing their past melancholy. The most appealing factor of this film is its environment with classic scenes of masterful editing. The way its music connect with the situations gives a realistic touch to story. The lifestyle of characters depict the real picture of today's cause for relationship issues eventually leads to usage of alcohol and drugs to find solace. Some of the content is offensive so it's not a family movie. Heads off for acting and direction once again. People who don't know anything about the 'Art House cinema', please don't watch this movie.

clearwinner Yes, this movie stands tall in all its forms. The movie is a must watch because you rarely find this kind of perfection in an Indian movie. Strong storyline, top class direction, superb acting by all the leads and the subordinates as well and my most preferred and the mainly missing component of an Indian movie is its Excellent soundtrack. Amit Trivedi take a bow. I wanted to watch such a movie and never expected to be of this standards even after reading the reviews as you know the Indian critics exaggerate everything. Bu t man this is a class in itself. Keeping minor flaws aside this movie was Perfect. We need such movies in India and with Anurag Kashyap there it seems possible.

vinoo202 I had watched Anurag Kashyap's earlier works like 'No Smoking', 'Black Friday', 'Gangs of Wasseypur 1', etc.However, nothing prepared me for the ride that was Dev D.I must admit that I am rather late on watching this movie, that was released in 2009. However I am glad that I did.This movie is no less, than any movie made by any of Hollywood's top Directors.It has rebooted the entire Devdas Genre, and given it an entirely new perspective. Shahrukh Khan's Devdas, just simply pales in comparison.The visuals in this movie are completely breathtaking. Raw as well as stylish. Completely blows your mind. Esp the shoots around Paharganj in Delhi. Plus the dizzy camera-work, that very often show a head-on perspective of Dev. The background score is also commendable. A decade ago, movies such as these were unthinkable.Dev D surely deserves to be listed on IMDb top 250.

hemant_balz Dev D,our modern Devdas,still there are times from the old days where people fell so much in love that they know nothing of.Same goes for our contemporary Dev D as well.Anurag Kashyap with a stunning visions brings to us a great movie indeed.The concept,the modernization,the truth everything speaks for itself.Just take the Dev-Paro situations or take up the Delhi MMS scandal,or take the prostitution of Chanda.Everything just blends so perfectly.The way the introduction of the 3 characters:Dev,Paro & Chanda is described is amazing.This goes back to the old times of narration like The Good,The Bad,The Ugly.Hindi cinema hasn't seen such fantastic narrations ever before.The modern truth of Dev D.Lovers loosing their life for their loved.Thats truly true.I myself has seen few people following the footsteps of Dev D as they turn their life totally to drugs & alcohol just to get over their sorrow.The ending is pretty much changed from Devdas as finally Dev-Chanda bonding takes place.Abhay Deol chooses such fantastic roles and always performs outstandingly.Mahi Gill is good but only in some parts.Kalki Koechlin is superb.The songs too are very good.Specially Pardesi,Ek Hulchul Si & of course Emotional Attyachar.So,all the middle aged or old aged folks just like my parents would never except this movie.But surely,young generation of our era would love to see this again & again.Its only with a unique vision of Kashyap that the young generation will now be able to see a classic surely.
