DEV D ( DIR: ANURAG KASHYAP ) 2009

In the beginning the film claims to be "loosely" based on the novel DEVDAS.The characters in the film share the same names and more or less the same roles as in the novel DEVDAS.Its not hard to find people who after breaking their heart take to drugs and shut themselves away from life.If this film have not made that claim in the beginning and changed the characters' names,it could have been another film.But probably the film intentionally wanted to mock this kind of Devdas-es.The ending of the film is different though.Dev finds love and realizes that being alive is reason enough to be happy.In the end he confesses to Chanda..."I always wanted to love Paro,but never loved her..".Soon when his constant flow of money from family business stopped,Dev was brought back to real life from the glamour of being a tragic hero.Apart from the story line,the cinema was well shown,with experiments which are not common in Bollywood movies.The music used also helped the movie.
