Review of Dev.D

Dev.D (2009)
9/10
Devdas 'Redefined'
12 June 2019
DevD is a romantic black comedy movie starring Abhay Deol and debutant Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin with Dibyendu Bhattacharya.

This movie is a typical Anurag Kashyap Brainchild with Sex, Drugs, liquor and very little violence although Anurag Kashyap is known for violence.

The film tells the story of modern Devdas and his life.

The movie is been scripted and directed very well and full credit should be given to the director and scriptwriter.

The screenplay of the movie is also good and will keep you glued to the movie. Also special mention of the background score of the movie as it supports the scenes with an apt. The special mention to the MMS scandal which shook the country was beautifully linked with the story and also showed the aftermath of that scandal.

As far as acting is concerned Abhay Deol is one of the most underrated talent of the Bollywood and he had done an amazing role. Mahie Gill was also very good although she was doing her first film but was very impressive. In my opinion Kalki koechlin is one of the most overrated actress and her immaturity as a fresher can be seen many times during the movie.

Overall an entertaining typical 'Anurag Kashyap' movie.
