  Anurag Kashyap takes the age old classic Devadas plot line and gives it a wild and entertaining contemporary twist, with a kickass audio-visual treatment and outstanding direction. He bases it upon the modern cultural changes in the society, handling themes of lust, sexuality, duality, love, escapism, self-destruction and redemption. The pulsating soundtrack is definitely right up there as one of the best. It takes a bold unconventional route, and convincingly fascinates you. Don’t miss out on this crazy emotional attyachar ride.

  Sex, booze, and drugs are staple fare for many a Hollywood film, but you don't often get to see any of them in Bollywood. That, I think, is the reason Dev D and Anurag Kashyap have become a cult favorite among Indian youth: they bring that stuff out into the open, instead of swathing it in layers of innuendo. (Though there is plenty of innuendo in Dev D, don't worry.)

  I really liked the film. It's a tongue-in-cheek modern retelling of Devdas, and its only real detractor is the liberty it took in recrafting the ending, which felt like the only wrong note in the film. I think that Dev D might have had a lot more emotional impact if…

  Review by Mike Apps🍿 ★★★★

  Indian movie industry loves the word “genius” as much as it hates its actual geniuses. Anurag Kashyap is sadly one of the few Indian auteurs with something real to say!

  
  Kashyap was in this phase in the late 2000s where his protagonists were self-destructive characters with appetites for drugs and alcohol. I wonder if he ponders over how confusing and absurd life is, and how not many people can see it because they’re caught up distracting themselves with what they’ve been told to do by their institutions. I imagine he thinks there is no universal goal for all life to follow except spread dna and grow the disease of life (marriage) then die (funeral). Kashyap understood that he couldn't be…
