ek do teen chaar.......... Well well, there certainly were a lotta emotions in the movie but atyachar, no! Dev D happens to be a hatke movie depicting a classic theme in a contemporary setup.
The acting is top notch, the directions fabulous. And as we already know, the music is outta this world! That doesn't mean though that there are no flaws in the movie. The beginning is a bit boring and the tempo doesnt really build up till Lenny aka Chanda comes in. Prior to that, it seems more like a movie depicting desperate sex-craving youngsters. On the other hand, Anurag Kashyap could have played out the ending a bit, he could afford stretching it. As of now its just too abrupt.
Abhay Deol has excelled in his role and looks comfortable carrying off the modern day Devdas' portrayal. Kalki has done justice to her role as well and while Paro is good, she could have done better.
The movie certainly doesn't deserve the 5 stars that ToI has awarded but it'd definitely a 3.5 star thing. No doubts about it. And maybe the reviewer had a bad break up the night before he saw Dev D.. that would explain the remaining 1.5 stars.. ;P

gud to know that themovie is not being judged by those 1.5 stars only..
and the cinematography was outstanding...
the movie gets a 3 star just for being about the tragic hero. then there is one star for the brilliant camera work. and i give 0.5 star for presenting an age old theme in a new context (something Omkara and Maqbool achieved to perfection). so overall, the 4.5 stars are well deserved.
Now i really wanted to read it but Dev D is something i just cannot stand. So yeah...haven't read. Sorry. Post something else. Soon.

the sequences were well placed and the theme was something very real and contemporary ..
