Dev - D a movie - The Vodka Content

I saw Abay Deol - the younger brother of Sunny Deol or I can say the third son of Dharmendra, Abhay showed up his muscle all along in the film. I donot mean he had not worn his shirt instead I mean to say I had drunk gallons of Vodka through out the movie. A newbie Mahi gill was Paro in the Film and the newbie Kalki Koechlin is the Chanda in the film. Does not it bring something on your mind?



Equation:



Theorem: Modern devdaas coefficients:



Equation taker : Anurag Kashyap



Dev -> Abhay Deol

Paro -> Mahi Gill

Chanda -> Kalki Koechlin



Dev + Paro = Love

Dev - Paro = Vodka

--------------------------

2 * Dev = Love + Vodka = Gallons of Vodka out of frustation

--------------------------

Chanda X Dev = Perfect Vodka - Water combination

Dev + Chanda - Paro = Dil maange more Vodka

Finally

Dev + Chanda = End of film



I remember the singer Harivamsh Rai's song the famous Madhushaala - was a smash hit in those days. Through out the time, many people came up with themes on drinks but this movie mostly put it through Vodka statement in a modern fashon adding a little drug content to it. The taking and making of the film was far more than excellent showing what does it take to make and break a relationship....



Dev starts his love with Paro. Dev from London and Paro from Punjab. Paro wants Dev to try her (I am not wrong. She acts Hot) A miscreant spoils the game between Dev and Paro. Now a widower wants Paro to marry him and consequently we know that the marriage happens. Dev come to know the truth that Paro's father plans the spoil sport between them and then instead of asking Paro to come over or confessing he starts drinking Vodka. There is this Paro's sister in law who is after Dev trying to ask him to try her but anyways that is a different quotient. Dev leaves to Delhi from Punjab. Director is generous giving Dev's dad chance to Pump money into Dev's pocket like air into a bike's tyre. Dev is all now a free bird in a hotel trying out something else - This time not women but drugs and drinks (his fav Vodka).

There is this lennie girl who got tried by a boy and is a spoil sport in Delhi. After getting her vieeo tapes out, she decides to run along for life running away from her mad classmates, relatives, parents who keep embrassing her about the incident. BTW the director shows his muscle here like the girl is just in teens and is out of school. It is quite natural and now she turns to become a kind of err.... profession in the evenings and joins a college in the mornings to continue her studies. She renames herself as Chandramukhi or Chanda short to seduce men. Dev falls prey to her. Director is generous again showing Dev commitment towards Paro. This time he continues drinks as Chanda's refugee. Chanda truely falls in love with Dev.

What a pity - Dev wants Paro and Paro's sister-in-law wants Dev. There is a conversation over phone between Dev and Paro's hubby for mutual agreement for Paro and Paro's sister-in-law. Confused? Let me explain. Paro's hubby Mr. H wants Dev to marry his sis. Dev in turn asks him to send Paro. However Paro teaches Dev the essence of getting married and now since she is a variable in some other equation, she cannot attempt to seduce or get seduced. Dev gets struck in in confusion and frustated Devdrinks gallons of more Vodka. Eventually the final eqution - Dev & Chanda exchange their thoughts and experiences - eventually learn both are in mutual love. Story ends both living together thereafter.....

There is a nice picturisation in the film. The director has emphasized the Devdas story fitting it to the straight line curve of modern day relationships. It was so natural and one cannot guess what next moment would be, the audience were taken round the time frame of three hours with a new hatke kind of showbiz for old story. The Chanda role and story were perfect with the modern day faults and double faults occuring to teenagers. Director wanted to show that understanding and faith is more important to build a relation than a mere physical attachment. Though there is a kind of witty dosage of this concept in a different manner, it was more than awesome to see Abhay doing his best to fit into the Dev's role.

However, after all the film needs a complete sense of maturity to follow the whole subject till the last scene. It does fit to current trend but there is a danger of mis-guidance if it is interpreted wrongly.
