I was encouraged by one of my mates to watch Dev D and was set the expectation that it is a cult movie in its own sense ...well after having watched the movie over a tumultous period of 150 mins I would like to replace the "l" in cult with letter at my disposition...please pardon my syntax here but its straight from the heart.
I dont blame my mate for it I guess he too has been a victim of "Keeping up with the Jones" syndrome and to have social conformance with his mates might have watched the movie in disgust .....
Well well what can I say about the movie I feel empowered like Khalid Mahmud like having the right to tear apart the movie to shreds......the movie has a decent plot with the protaganist Dev D delivering well in his role ...what I just struggle to understand is why has the director put in so many real life stories into the plot of the movie ...I guess the USP of the movie is the frequent foul language and the openess with which sex is being discussed....
Now now I know that Sex sells and that we as audience gather a vicaral pleasure from watching lewd/nude scenes and Iam not a follower of Ram Sena......but what Iam concerned with current mental decadence of the current youth population of India...with the movie vividly portraying famous scandals like the MMS Scandal whereing the actress has scant respect for her father and at one point of time accusing him of jer@#$g at her MMS leading to his suicide.This prompts the girl to take the path towards prostitution.
Now portraying this as the independance of a teenagers mind inspite of doing something wrong is what I take as inference from the movie....
Abhay Deol is the only one who has done justice to himself and the movie by acting well....morever the movie meanders off track in between and fails to come back to its original plot....
If movies like Dev D and shows like Splitsville are a reflection of the mindset of the youth of India then Iam thouroughly sorry to say that Iam sad and that it disappoints me a lot.....what our teenage population see from the west and what we try to copy are two different things....
nyways I just sincerely hope that the future of India is in safe hands.....
