Movie: Dev D (2009,Hindi)

 

Claps:

• The story of Devdas rehashed and presented in the context of the Y-Gen. But has the Indian Y-gen gone so far? I suppose it hasn't. Still a different attempt.
• Usage of very little dialogs and conveying a lot through tracks was a good move. All tracks fitted,emotional atyachaar being the best, and were not speed- breakers.
• Abhay Deol's performance as the lowly loser & the portions of Leni's trauma.

Blips:

• The protagonist has nothing positive about him. He is selfish,egotistic,spoilt & hopeless right from the word go. That leaves little or no impact at the end.

Overall Score: 8.7/10
