I suppose Devdas is one novel whose depictions in Indian cinema can tell you how has the Indian cinema matured through time.Be it the Dileep Kumar's version or Shahrukh's version. Each one of them are like windows through which you can peep and get a glimpse of the Indian cinema coming of age.The same age old love story but set up in a very different environment and represented in Anurag Kashyap's own unique way.I suppose if the great Sarat Chandra Chatterjee would have been a contemporary to Anurag Kashyap Devdas may have been setup in the same environment.Talking about the cast and the movie, Abhay Deol continues to do extraordinary job in his own out of the league kind of movies.He is different and always appears in movies with a different flavor and taste.The rest of the cast was amateur but still delivered a great job,hats off to them and their director.The usage of typical Punjabi words in the dialogs have added spice to the curry. All in all a total mas-ala entertainer. With so many movies based on social awareness around these days this one being on a different track makes it a must watch.
