Dev D: An actor in making

This month started with the screening of Anurag kashyap's yet another adventurous and daring movie Dev D. Dev D is the modern take on novel 'Devdas' written by Sarat Chandra, despite of this Dev D is very much different from its earlier versions. Very beautifully conceptulised and implemented on the screen. Something different for the movie lovers. Music was owesome. Every body is aware of the popularity of the song ' Emotional atyachar'. As far as acting is concerned Abhay Deol was good but somwhere down the line I felt that he failed to depict that magic that should be depicted by the character of Devdas, except him most of the faces in the film were new but every one performed well. One thing which i felt about this is that if earlier Devdas was about love this one was about sex. In Abhay Deol's own words it is an honest and true tale of sex.
Film started well but in the mid it became slighty boring that part could be better. Acting was superb, screenplay was good. It is an entertaining and must watch movie. In short it is a break from the monotonus love stories of bollywood. I agree with the rating given to it by Times. Hats off to Abhay Deol.
