SBO Reviews
Dev (Abhay Deol) is the son of a rich industrialist, who is sent away to London, when he was 12. He returns home to Chandigarh and to his childhood love Paro (Mahi Gill). They both know that they want to be together but a misunderstanding results in Dev walking away and Paro being married off to someone else. This pushes Dev into a depression and the lad finds himself drowned in drugs, alcohol and women. More
Director Anurag Kashyap's last outing was called No Smoking, a film that was butchered by the critics and the audiences alike. It was written off as being nothing more than an ego trip.
I've always thought Devdas could only be told in black and white. For it is a bunch of flabbergastingly unidimensional characters -- drunkard, pining lover, courtesan -- that populate Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's essentially simplistic story, remarkable only for its wonderfully amoral, irredeemable titular protagonist.
