This is a hindi movie.. i dont usually watch hindhi movies.. atleast not recently.. anyway i have a guest in my house.. who loves hindhi movies.. he is one of my best friends but i have to admit sometimes he gets on my nerves with his emotional attachment towards bollywood.. i wonder why they chose wood at the end of a name.. its just weird.. holly`s wood.. bolly`s wood..
Anyway Dev D.. is the modern version of Devdas.. which i did not watch and which apparently was a hit.. considering it had aishwariya, shahrukh and madhuri.. dont think its much of a stretch.. i like Dev D though.. i wonder if it was because it was dark which apparently is the most popular theme in movies these days.. says alot about humans i guess..
Why did i like it though.. hmm .. mostly it didnt need much dialogue.. most of the things were said without words.. expressions.. and the bg music.. the music rocked in the movie by the way.. even the sodu version of emosanal attyaachaar.. check out the rock version in youtube its pretty cool too..anyway they told me it was going according to the old version the main storyline anyway.. guy falls in love.. screws up.. looses the girl.. finds solace in the hands of a "sex worker" which is apparently the more politically correct word.. watch the movie you will get the joke.. anyway he drinks himself to near death..
but its not the story that makes this movie a great one.. its how its portrayed .. it breaks conventional society rules.. its shows what humans are capable of.. it shows human emotion at its best... human cowardice.. human sadness... humans ability to hold it in.. their ability to let the horrors eat them alive.. or "move on"..
"Nayan Tarse, Tarse Tarse Re, Bisar Gaye Bisar Gaye Kitne"
p.s watch it with subtitles some of its not in the traditional hindhi i grew up with
