I wanted to watch this film since I first saw the trailer of the movie. Finally got the chance to see the movie 2 days back. Movie starts on the lines of original Devdas and maintains it (mostly). But it maintains its originality. The characters are bold, they don't seek permission, and they know what to do.

Frankly I hate the original version of Devdas which I believe is truly unbelievable. But then Dev.D being the same story is somehow believable (may be because of some real life incidents).

The performance given by all the actors is just brilliant. You just cannot ignore the hard work put in by Abhay Deol. Mahie Gill as a typical Punjabi girl was excellent. I don't think any known actress could have done this role.

I had doubts about the other new girl, Kalki. I don't know but it was hard to imagine her as chanda. She looks so young and naïve, but the director didn't make the mistake of not showing her background. This was the sole reason that she fits in the role.

Dialogs were amazing specially the ones given to Abhay and Kalki. Direction and camera were amazing. Music was just awesome, suited each and every part of the movie. Whether the marriage song (Emotional Atayachaar) or the rock songs in the second half.

The only thing which I didn't like about the movie was the length of the movie. It could have been shorter.

But in the end, the movie is a must watch.
