What comes out if you mix in an epic story, three non-commercial actors, a smart director catering to an audience who loves vulgarity, a weak story skillfully portrayed as an art movie - Dev.D
Yes, reading the reviews in the papers, i finally decided to take a look at it. It had got a rating of 3.5 star out of 5 by a famous movie critic (i wonder that guy must be dead drink).
The movie shows how a spoilt brat of a rich family is thrown out of home to London to study, and when he returns, he decides to join his childhood love, but due to some misunderstandings and arrogance, the relationship breaks. Mr Dev, unable to digest this tragedy, decides to become a drunkyard, who keeps on sippin Smirnoff Vodka(those Smirnoff guys must be happy for Abhay, he really atleast finished a dozen full bottles while shooting for the movie, except for the publicity they've got). He starts drugs - coke,ganja , n such things(bah....old stuff).
Then one day, he comes in contact with a russian prostitute, who turned into prostitution after everyone had abandoned her. She was the daughter of an Ambassador, who committed sucide after finding out that she was found in a compromising situation with some guy. This Mr Dev impresses her badly.
As time goes on, Dev gets surrounded with a hell of problems. He gets filed for an accident, and gets arrested. Somehow after getting bailed, when he returns, he blows up everything and gets broke. He then misses a fatal accident, and realises that he had been wasting all his time. He starts a new life. The end ! The audience stands up, curses the critics giving it a 5star rating.
I'd give the movie a 2 out of 5, just for Abhay and the other starcast's acting. I'd suggest you to watch some other movie if you have an option, but dont prefer this one at all.
