Dev D, movie review
Dev D is a modern-day interpretation of the classic novel "Devdas" by Sarat Chandra. Dev, Paro and Chanda of Dev D reflect the sensibilities, conflicts, aggression, independence, free thought, exuberance and recklessness of the youth of today. A generation that is jammed between eastern roots and western sensibilities. Director Aunrag Kashyap has shown the lead character Devdas as a spoilt, obsessive, addictive and a hypocritical sensualist, who is self destructive without knowing he is destroying himself. Dev D movie review... Dev D is set in the rustic and colourful Punjab and also explores the dingy, morbid, dark underbelly of Delhi. From sprawling mustard fields to a riot of neon. It is written and directed by Anurag Kashyap and produced by UTV Spotboy. Son of a rich Punjabi Businessman, Dev (Abhay Deol) and Paro (Mahi Gill) are childhood sweethearts. But Dev, being an insec ....

Luck by Chance, movie review
A starlet and a struggler meet while trying to navigate through the Hindi Film Industry - the Bollywood as most refer to, and end up changing each other's lives forever. Luck by Chance is a slice of film industry life, in which self advancement is the sole motivator.

Patterns that we call kismet. Or Luck by Chance. In such an unpredictable climate, is success and failure what other's define for you or is it something you decide for yourself? Luck by Chance movie review... Vikram Jaisingh is a sincere young Delhiite whose dream is to make it to the big screen in Bollywood.
