Take a bow Anurag Kashyap!! With Dev D, he has created a modern masterpiece of Bollywood. This is anything but the typical brainless crap that comes on a weekly basis. A modern rendition of the acclaimed novel Devdas, Dev D is able to show a real depiction of India and the performances by everyone including the supporting actors who have a few lines deserves praise. In particular, Abhay Deol and Kalki Koechlin proved their acting chops in playing complex characters which definitely deserves some recognition. The cinematography is magnificent and the film is a visual treat. However the main reason for the brilliance of this film is its well-written screenplay. Anurag Kashyap has never shied away from doing things differently and with this movie he has proved that he is the best director in Bollywood. As an audience, I believe that we must watch movies like these. Only if such movies are successful will other filmmakers be willing to take risks which would greatly improve the quality of movies made.
