Default Re: Anyone watched Dev D ?

Alright folks, coming from Dev.D...

7.5 to 8 in 10 is my rating.

I expected it to be more abstract but Anurag Kashyap has toned down his art of abstract story telling from "No Smoking" level, I think everyone needs to think about business. BUT its still out there which none can touch...

The movie needs a bit editing to be more sharp and smart...
The Paro part of the movie is a bit slow at times and Mahie Gill was weak some places.
I mostly loved the Chanda (kalki Koechlin) and Dev part of the movie, the Chanda girl is brilliant. She definitely knows what she is doing.

Those who have not watched Devdas would like the movie but you have to keep ur mind open, its more like binary...either u'll like or dislike the movie...no mix reaction can be evoked seeing it.

Those who have watched and LIKED/LOVED the old Devdas, they would miss the Pain, suffocation and helplessness in this movie a bit. Dev.D is not emo movie like its ancestors, its more like in-ur-face movie; in this time no one has time to stop and repent for years and die of self-pity...u get a replacement, either u want it or u don't. It happens.
While in hall I didn't quite like it, but I think I like it now.
