Few things I want to say after having watched this movie on big screen last night. The movie experience is truly world class. I am the biggest movie fan I have ever known and I bow before Anurag K for this brave attempt. India needs more directors like him. Dev D's soul reverberates in every youth of today. Unlike the novel and like the youth of today, our "Dev D" is perched between 'Desi' mind and 'Ultra-Mod' lifestyles and struggles on a daily and nightly basis. Danny Boyle's suggestions have been optimally used. The journey of the Coke-infested DevD's mind is a visual treat. Danny Boyle's cult movie Trainspotting was a similar experience. As a movie fan, I feel the camera work and positioning sets the tone and gives a 3-D like experience to the viewer. The twist given to the Trinity of characters leaves the viewers stimulated. Dev D's protagonist has a moment of truth at the fag end of the movie where he stops, realizes and collects whatever is life offering him. Upbeat Ending. "Paaro" discovers "power" in the movie and looms large over the movie even when she is not on screen. The real tweak is the emotional (read emosional) solace, Dev D and Chanda find in each other. The movie, again, unlike the novel, is not about a loser drunkard on his way to doom. This is about, as Chanda says " Moving On"
