It is Dev Ds fame Time!

Just when I thought that creativity in India had become so stereotypical, that it drips of triteness from all its sides; just when I thought that Indian cinema had become a euphemism for putting and choreographing  some back in the days over and out  old men who bombard us with platitudes to the point that the very creative perceptions of the masses have been shattered beyond repair; and that public knowledge had become a commodity rarer than the elixir of life; along came Anurag Kashyap to shatter my bubble of misery, and desperation.

 Respect to the man for having the guts to fight the conformist inclinations of our society and for carving out a masterful pastiche that captures the Gen Y zeitgeist with surgical precision.

 Realistic casting, flawless cadence of the story, tremendous acting, impeccable music & background score, hilariously pertinent lyrics, and amazing art direction and production design all blend perfectly to form an eclectic amalgam. Also worthy of mention is the attention to the minutest of details, such as the puns intended through neon signs in the backdrop, or the theatrical touch given by the three mime artists. Sinbad  one of them is agood friend to my dear Tina.

The trio from UK who consist of Sinbad, Ammo, and Jimi perform in their own formidable style with a heavy dose of showmanship to a hip soundtrack of Latin, Jazz, Indian and Electro Funk. They've been making huge waves on the Burlesque scene introducing a new form of dance known as 'Open Hand'. Having worked on an international spectrum with everyone from Kylie, Talvin Singh to Madonna, the guys have now spread their vibe in Dev D.

With their unique look inspired by everything from classic Havana of the 50's, Hollywood glitz of the 60's, right through to the American Funk movement of the 70's, the boys are appearing in various song sequences in Dev D as themselves. Their style is so organic and fluid that they can never do the same take twice - they are constantly improvising take to take and their movements cannot be pinned down to any rules.

we actually met them the night we went to watch Dev D at the cinema they were telling us they had been watching the movie 4 entire times that week..

Mm guess someone is a fan..

 Indian cinema's best is Bandit Queen, Black and Dev D. i hvnt seen this sort of raw, realistic, artistic cinema ever in Hollywood. I

ts truely push indian cinema 1 step forward.. so i guess if u r in love with shahrukh khan, shavva shavva(typical punjabi song u see in evry karan johar movie), a girl of dreams n a guy of dreams ..then its waste of money.. but if u really wanna watch a master piece of cinema..go n watch.. u will be amazed with the direction, cinematography and treatment of this movie. I was immediately reminded of one of my favorite Woody Allen creations.

 Hats off to anurag(director of the movie yaar) and so abhay..the main actor who is now settled in New York, and yess he is also a dear friend to our Tina.I guess it is all about New York Now, the city to be in..

Go run and Watch this movie..it is an order!!
