This is the second screenplay of the classic Indian novel Devdas that I am watching and believe me, Dev-D defines the beginning of a new age not just in the field of Bolly-wood Musicals but also in the style of direction and cinematography. Very real locations, dialogues and sets backed by the most diverse and lyrically sound album of music.

Abhay Doel has given one of his best performances. Kalki and Mahi are also too good with their débutant roles in Hindi cinema. Moving between slow and fast sequences, the movie has brought out several complexities of the modern society particularly those haunting the youth. The best version of the novel Devdas! I am sure the Late Saran Chandra would have been very proud of this new world's creation!
