  • Dev.D 1 Dev.D Is an Indian Romantic Drama Film Released on 6 February
    Dev.D 1 Dev.D Dev D Theatrical release poster Directed by Anurag Kashyap Produced by Ronnie Screwvala Written by Anurag Kashyap Vikramaditya Motwane Based on Devdas by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay Starring Abhay Deol Mahie Gill Kalki Koechlin Music by Amit Trivedi Cinematography Rajeev Ravi Edited by Aarti Bajaj Release date(s) •• 6 February 2009 Running time 144 min Budget 60 million (US$1.0 million) Box office 215.0 million (US$3.6 million) (domestic gross) Dev.D is an Indian romantic drama film released on 6 February 2009. Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, it is a modern-day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel Devdas,[1] previously adapted for the screen by P.C. Barua and Bimal Roy and more recently by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.[2] Dev.D was embraced by the media, critics and public. The film is set in contemporary Punjab and Delhi, where familial ties are negotiated by the traditions of patriarchy and marriages are reduced to a game of power and "honour". Plot Dev (Abhay Deol) is the son of a rich businessman. He and Paro (Mahi Gill) are childhood sweethearts. But Dev, being an insecure narcissist, instead of acknowledging her affection and care, nudges Paro over frivolous things. Dev is sent to London for higher studies when his father senses how spoilt his son is. While separated by distance, Paro and Dev's youthful love only blossoms more. Dev arrives in Chandigarh to meet Paro. Their endeavor to make love makes for some dark comic moments. The seeds of suspicion are sown here, which the couple will never be able to weed out for a lifetime.
