Dev.D

Kya time waste hai!

A contemporary "remake" of Devdas called "Dev.D" (get the joke??)?

Throw in a continually fornicating Devdas, Paro, and westernized Leni/Chandramukhi teen prostitute (never mind the extremely shallow "westerners = overly sexualized" stereotype for now) and add a few topical references to make the audience feel like the story is "really contemporary"…..

Mix in boring acting and silly dialogues (check out the "art" in this line: "You're right, I am a sl*t.")

And forget about a director actually wasting his (or her) time trying to write (or film) an ending. Who needs one anyway?

What remains?

At least there were some very cool and authentic car and truck horns on the sound effects track.

Is this really the kind of shallow and utterly stereotyped "art" film-making that we have to look forward to from multiplex-obsessed "New Hindi Cinema" filmmakers (and I do not mean SRK or AK)?

Thanks but no thanks.

Overhyped and Headache-Inducing

I honestly don't understand why Dev. D is called a "cult classic." I watched it with some expectations, but it turned out to be one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. The pacing was painfully slow, the storyline dragged on, and instead of being engaging or emotional, it just gave me a headache.

The so-called "modern take" on Devdas felt more like unnecessary chaos than creativity. The characters weren't relatable, the music didn't click for me, and the constant attempt at being "different" only made it frustrating to watch.

If this is what people call "experimental cinema," then I'd rather stick with straightforward storytelling. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Bad

Saw few minutes and gave up in disgust. There is a shot of this moron couple kissing in a chicken factory where chickens are caged up in miserable conditions. Saw few minutes and gave up in disgust.

Bad bad bad movie

This movie tell all the wrong things which barely happens in life.

Movie shows a girl do wrong and later become prostitute, a boy is mischievous and parent send him London and he get even worse.

Today parent never keeps their child in this way. And any child or person do not spoils himself like this. Too much shown in movie. It creates headache, its a s-h-i-t movie.
