It is very unfortunate that in a country of over a billion the sport of boxing doesn't figure as the favourite of the masses. Who shall we blame?

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.

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 ....
