Dev D(Anurag Kashyap)

A slightly out-of-place 2nd half along with some cliches(Not to mention,Paro's character-Mahi Gill?)are the only sore points in this movie.Being 'loosely' inspired from Devdas is one thing.On the other hand,giving an entirely trendy look to it along with impeccable screenplay and world-class music is entirely another thing.Abhay Deol pulls off his character of Dev with elan and he has to be lauded for taking up this script and conceptualising it too.The much-hyped infusion of MMS scandal thingy to introduce Chanda character is actually very intelligent although casting for the role could've been a shade better.Usage of all 18 songs in the movie is pleasantly surprising.Amit Trivedi's compositions are incredibly suited to the theme and he rocks in the background score too.Anurag Kashyap's Dev D is a fitting tribute to Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel Devdas!..
