‘Devdas’ gets a modern twist in Anurag Kashyap’s Dev. D , a fresh and riveting tale of love lost and self-destruction.
Classically Sarat Chandra’s Devdas has been hailed as the ultimate lover who drowns himself when he loses his love and goes onto the path of self-destruction. Kashyap’s ‘Dev.D’, on the other hand, unabashedly proclaims Dev as the hypocrite who drowns in self pity and as a man who could not stand up for himself.
