OK we have seen devdas, we know the story why watch this ??? Important Question!! I went with the expectation of seeing a stylish obnoxious devdas and glad to tell u i got it :)). People with a good humor sense will love it. The movie is on similar lines to Sharath chandra's novel where the protagonist has broken relations with his father and is sent to London for higher studies. He is in constant touch with his childhood love paro, with whom he keeps contact through modern communication mechanisms Phone and internet! Trust is very important in any relation, which eventually is breached when dev hears some stories. From now he becomes the real devdas, Smoking coke, drinking Vodka and then Chandramukhi ! Overall a great performance by dev ( Abhay Deol ) and Paro. I would say chanda was not bad too. The dark humor in the movie is brilliant. There are a lot of humorous moments including a scene where dad tells devdas that paro was yours @ paro's wedding ! How chanda becomes a so called " commercial sex worker" and also the BMW Incident. Wonderfully blended into the movie. Well done anurag 9/10 for the script and 8/10 for the direction !! I travelled 30 kms to watch this movie because didn't' get tickets at multiplex near my house. Anywayz no regrets
