A contemporary "remake" of Devdas called "Dev.D" (get the joke??)?

Throw in a continually fornicating Devdas, Paro, and westernized Leni/Chandramukhi teen prostitute (never mind the extremely shallow "westerners = overly sexualized" stereotype for now) and add a few topical references to make the audience feel like the story is "really contemporary"..

Mix in boring acting and silly dialogues (check out the "art" in this line: "You're right, I am a sl*t.")

And forget about a director actually wasting his (or her) time trying to write (or film) an ending. Who needs one anyway?

What remains?

At least there were some very cool and authentic car and truck horns on the sound effects track.

Is this really the kind of shallow and utterly stereotyped "art" film-making that we have to look forward to from multiplex-obsessed "New Hindi Cinema" filmmakers (and I do not mean SRK or AK)?

Thanks but no thanks.
