Dev D !!

Dev D has done it. A modern twist to the weepy saga of a love struck maniacal romeo who turns self destructive. Abhay Deol plays the role of a new age (and very hunky) Devdas who loses his true love Paro (played by Mahe Gill) by trusting a scheming third party. Mahe Gill plays role of a small town girl who is (secretly) sexually liberated and not afraid to express her true feelings for Dev.
The plot and screen play is beautifully adapted to show modern issues and the relevance of a classic tale like Devdas in a modern world. Whether it is the long distance love between Dev and Paro and internet exchange of mails and nude pics(!) or the planning of their little tryst in the fields; both Abhay Deol and Mahe Gill play their roles to the T.
I was slightly disappointed by the casting of the lady who played Chanda ( Chandramukhi) in the film, but the character was meaty enough to hide any big flaws. Abhay Deol too has shown that he can pick films that showcase his talent whether it was Oye lucky or DevD.
The real winner is whoever did the camera work on the film – Dev’s drunkenness is captured magically with high speed visuals and interesting angles. The background score is to die for – Emotional Aatyachar this one is not!
