This is a late review about the movie, DEV.D though I watched it on 2nd day from its release date. I don't find any cons in the movie but I happened to notice many people leave at the interval or before the movie ended. Interpretation will differ from people to people and may be they felt embarrassed watching with family. They were smaller part of the audience and many seemed to enjoy with joyous and surprising comments at every turn.
When I got out of theater, I felt like sedated. DEV.D is filled with liquor scenes and we can smell the taste of it on every reel so are the gals who are intoxicating. It set new trend by discussing sex so blatantly. The "F"-word and "Slut" are spilled all over the film. After watching so many movies we can easily expect the forth coming scenes. DEV.D stands out there as a unique, unforeseen, impressive, spectacular and matchless surpassing entire film industry.
The movie poster says like "Contemp
orary classic" – a true statement. I wish to watch it again that's what I said to my friend after coming out of the movie hall. The theatre manager/owner is my friend's father so I know all of them working at the hall as I am a regular. He seemed to get negative replies from others and got surprised when I said this is the excellent movie I watched so far. Even after showing unconditional love towards dev, paro gets ditched, the unfortunate moment where we will feel sad as if it hurt you. Your heart would crave to tell the truth to Dev about paro.. but goes in vain. The meaning for contemporary lies in showing paro's sexual desires where she is ready to do anything like taking nude pics for love, showing affection towards dev even after her marriage observing his condition, MMS scandals on chanda, chanda's part time studies or sex working(I think both are part time), Atlast Dev realizes he is a slut as enlighten by chanda that he never loved paro.. etc., we can go on praising at every scene.. Modern day devdas fits the bill perfectly. kudos to Anurag Kashyap and Abhay Deol who dared to take such a movie in India.
So overall I give a standing ovation and suggest people who are willing to explore new phase of love or movie definitely watch DEV.D …
