I would like to start from the ending of Dev D. Be it Hollywood, Bollywood,Tollywood, or any fucking film industry I’ve never experienced such unique or rather unexpcted ending and trust me Anurag, the Hyderabadi audience just loved it. I would leave the reason why for you to decide, watch it and you’ll feel the same.
I’ve been waiting impatienltly for the movies release ever sinc eI got to listen to the audio tracks, cuz I was really wondering as to how Anurag managed to have 18 songs in a movie!!!!. I was religeously waiting for the online bookings and as soon as it was on, I made my booking for First Day First Show, but then by the time I entered the hall I realized that the movie had already begun. I was like ” Oh Shit Bloody Multiplexes, they always start on time..”.
The first scene
Dev
” Paro mujhe tumari ek pic bhejo”
Paro
“Tumari paas to hai na (not sure if they are accurate)”
and then he asks her
” bina kapdon waali….”
And there on when he gets to see her pictures, he calls her up and says
“Mai aa raha hoon”
The song that followed was perfect for the situation.
The first half was pretty interesting though story was quite familiar to the audience. Inspite of that, the script and screen play left the audience guessing .
It would not do justice to the movie if I don’t talk about Abhay deol. One of the finest actors in the industry and the most under utilized as well. After watching Ghajini and Dev.D I strongly feel that we are nothing less than method actors from the west,first half he played a uk returnd son of a rich businessman from chandigarh, a careless,immatu
re spoiled brat. But the moment he realised that he has lost his Paro, then the real Dev-Devil came inot action. His body language and onscreen performance was mind blowing. It was so realistic that I was a little skeptical that abhay was on drugs. Mahi gill truly justified AK’s choice for new face for this role
Basically this movie is aimed at people who understands the celluoid world in true sense,Anurag introduces new techniques of film shooting and completly new genrein each of his movie ,Movies like these are promises for a better future for Indian cinema . I have not seen Muiltplex audidence cheering and singing the tunes of any song in any movie off late. But the magic created by Amit Trivedi and Anurag changed it all ….. Emosanal Athyachar has become an anthem in the corporate world.
Guess what!! i have booked the tickets for saturday morning show as well.

we were planning for suryalanka (dreamt of spending a lovely full moon night on a beach with a splendid Wine bottle,listening to my fav tracks while fishing.......)due to the last minute change in our plans we had to post pone the trip but for Sunday the goons were game,we had only one day for trip and chetan suggested 
bidara's an alternative place which is 130 kms though i was little skeptical but decided "doing some thng is better than wasting my week Sleeping ".The day before i stayed at Chetans place and got to know its not four of my frnds but the other gang would join us in the morning
at 6am near BHEL. The way to Bidar from Hyderabad is to get onto the Pune highway, go on till Zaherabad and then turn right to Bidar. Once you reach the place ask for directions to the Kila (fort),temple,gurudwara. The distance is 135ms from Marredpally(Chetans place) in hyderabad, which is easily doable in 2.5 hrs with stops. On with the journey then :) 5:45am. were are struggling to get up in the morning coz i remember we slept around 4am .Once we were set and started for the first mile as usual i was the DJ of my car the morning raga started with Krishna Leela,Suprabatham,keertanas of Ayyapa,,,, it was all bakthi songs until we break for tea at 6:30then it was followed by desh bakthi.After finishng the 3 rounds of tea , and capturing the early momemts , me bhabhi(chetans wife) and arnab headed towards our destination,arnab took the charge of wheels as i promised him to drive till the sunrise .The early morning is quite beautiful, if it was not for the man-made clutter of wires all around. I dont know when we as a civilization will get aesthetic sense. From all my travels to sites of yesteryears, it seems that our forefathers did have the sense, but we seem to have lost it.
