Saw the movie - DevD - after a long time.... The genius of Anurag Kashyap is in its full bloom with practically controls each and every aspect of film making, not that i know much about it, but this is by far his best direction...
One thing comes out clearly with Kashyap... his portrayal of real life people and their personalities on reel-life brings out uncanny resemblance with people you know, and what happens in day today society... the director makes no attempt to hide or glorify the inner most feelings of a girl and boy in heat or that of a father who realizes he cant face the world because of daugther's foolish steps on one hand and that of a father who hides her daughters overtures to an unacceptable relationship and finds out a way to get her married off quietly...
it also brings the brashness of a regular spoilt brat-kid and youth from a rich family who has no idea on what he will do with his future ... scenes like the BMW accident, the MMS scandal, the typical kothis of Delhi brings out real life characters with a disclaimer that it being "purely coincidental" or rather "a deliberate attempt with hurting sentiments"....
somehow I was expecting Kashyap to also put a scene Jessica Lal murder case but I guess he could not find an angle for it in the movie...
more importantly he tries and portray the youth and the earlier generation in its likeness to reality... how Paro still comes as a married woman to meet Dev in his shoddy hotel, how she is clear in his mind what she wants and what she does not... how Dev has his realisation on value for life.... every scene, though quite a few of them, have been crafted to give out a meaning and show you the mirror...
The casting is another brilliant attempt to move towards hiring new people and clearly puts forth that a successful movie does not need super stars but a great director...
