Devdas Revisited

Hats off to Anurag Kashyap for introducing us to modern Devdas ie Dev played superbly by poster boy of off-beat movies Abhay Deol, daring act of Paro deftly played by Mahie Gill and who can forget full lipped Chanda act by Kalki.
Dev D is turning out to be the most radical product of Bollywood. Never ever female sexuality has been presented in such an explicit and forceful way ; well exemplified by Paro’s trip to a field with mattress on her bicycle for making out with her just returned Dev. Though some of scenes like the one just described may be over the top but they’ve succeeded in conveying the message of female sexual liberation.
The movie is partly inspired by mms scandal involving a Delhi schoolgirl. Almost half of nation had their lustful eyes glued to that clip on their cell phones but publicly it was condemned as if their haven’t been a bigger sin committed by a teenager.
This movie has fundamentally altered the perception of female sexuality. The music is simply brilliant……esp. emotional atyachar.
