Tauba tera jalwa
Tauba tera pyaar
Tera emotional atyachaar

YES IT IS, but before we move on to that, allow me to inflict upon thee some “emotional atyachaar“!

Love it or hate it, No Smoking has been one of the most discussed and debated film all over the blogosphere for the last one year, and continues to be so and Anurag Kashyap is here to stay. And if the trailer of his latest film is anything to go by, the stay is going to be a rocking affair for film buffs around India.

DEV.D, based on characters from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Devdas is as far detached from the book as the characters are from sainthood. In Anurag Kashyap’s own words he has used Devdas as an adjective and not as a work of literature or cinema; it’s a look at relationships through the phenomenon that is Devdas.

Abhay Deol, who also came up with the idea for the story takes the role of Dev.D, a smart-talking, cocaine-sniffing alcoholic. His two muses in the film, played by the debutants Mahi Gill as Paro and Kalki as Chanda along with a host of new characters that is to be introduced in the film.

The other high point of the film being the music by Amit Trivedi, the man behind the music of Aamir. He deserved every bit of praise bestowed on him by the critics for the music of Aamir, and if the music in the trailer is any indication he is going to surpass his previous venture by miles this time. the album consisting of 15 songs including a couple of Punjabi tracks, a romantic Rajasthani folk track and even an Awadhi number is going to be an experience to savor, but more on that when the music releases.

The 2mins 25 sec long trailer takes us to Kashyap’s dystopian world giving us random glimpses of Dev (looking stoned, distraught, devastated and occasionally bored), along with the introduction of the two main characters Chanda and Paro. A feel of Tarantino being merged with Punjab, a Desi feel with an international ‘texture’ underneath it.

Anyways, enough bug-bug for now. Presenting to you- the trailer of DEV.D. Enjoy, and have a psychedelic orgasm!

  2. Anurag,

    For me you were India’s David Lynch when you made “No Smoking”. I tried to hate it but I couldnt. I tried to love it but I couldnt but it kept me thinking about the movie for months together. I have never thought about a movie and its philosophical metaphors so much.I still cant cease to think about the movie in my head.

    And now you are India’s Tarantino to have made this beautiful piece of pastiche called Dev.D.

    I watched this amazing trailer on the big screen here in NYC. It preceded – of all things – the film “Fashion”. Needless to say, it was the best thing about the evening, but I digress…

    Anyway, I absolutely loved “No Smoking” for its darkness and the absurdity of the story. No other director could have taken his characters on such a journey and actually keep his audience spellbound all through it! But “Dev D.” looks even more amazing, fascinating and dark. I can’t wait for its release. And the trailer truly rocks!

    After this Lynch game, will I and audience like me be allowed to watch a film directed by Anurag Kashyap without remembring David Lynch or any other name making films for many years in other part of world?

    Parallel Lynchian universe should not make a cross section at a purely hindi film :)

    New can have potential to go beyond the old.

For the aam junta, i sincerly hope this movie is a tad accessible for them, and then only we could see the hape wave that Kashyap, Bhardwaj.co are trying to bring. Kudos to UTV for sheltering the new tide in Indian cinema. These are better times, or so I would liek to believe.

    There is a unique sense of duality in the trailer. At one end the scenes are as normal as can be and at the other end whenever Dev is high, the tepid albeit harnessing visuals kick in. In short, as engrossing as it can be.

    Can I please have a copy of the soundtrack in advance? :D

    this trailer did remind me of requiem for a dream — the shots with the camera attached to the body, and then abhay screaming with his face immersed in water are very reminiscent of a couple of scenes with jennifer connelley in aaronofsky’s classic.

    that being said, it’s still a great trailer, with amazing soundtrack. this is definitely going to be a good movie.

    The movie may finally do justice to Devdas, which was so cruelly tortured by Shah Rukh Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas.

  68. Nothing is original. Everything… you, yourself and your existence is a sum of inspirations and your interpretations of these inspirations.

    Anurag: When people hate No Smoking, they hate it with passion. They write pages on why it doesn’t work. They compare with Kafka’s K, they talk about how it deviates from Lynch or they’d critically dissect k’s character in the movie. Do you get the compliment? You can only hate something so fervently only when it moves you as much.

    @Narcissist
    Thanks for the link. It is an interesting post. I liked it.

    The Karma/Boomerang theoty is simplicity in its essence. If you make it a big deal, it becomes a big deal. :)

    Dismissing your assumption on me and the number of times I have seen the movie, I shall still stand by my view of it. It is simple and straightforward.

    Trailor looked funny , and yes has some traces of No smoking, but the lyris ” emotional atyaachar”… thts interesting …. what i know ,its not Gulzaar saab ? I might be wrong too.

    and good to c Abhay Deo, not follwing the crowd and experimenting with interesting movies..!! He is one of my favs and i wish he gets more and more different movies on hi CV and excel in that too..

    btw , after No smoking, i am excited, curious for Dev.D and ready to challegne my intellect and intelligence .. he he

    Thanks guys. This one isn’t complicated. It’s a musical with a kickass soundtrack of 15 original songs and then some soundtracks. Lyrics of emotional atyachar are by a new singer lyricist Amitabh who along with Amit Trivedi has sung most songs. They both sing the brass band EA and the rock version is sung by bonny.

    @Sarang: Yeah, it was perhaps ’simple and straightforward’ as you say so. But I thought the acting was superlative and the direction, production design and visuals were amazingly imaginative and brilliant, in a way they can only be in Kubrick’s films. The dystopian fantasy portrayed in the film is truly terrifying and I found it a great achievement that the writer and director manage to make a tragic hero out of the protagonist who is almost an embodiment of evil. Also works wonderfully as an acerbic satire on society and human nature. Though I admit all the talk of the shock value and violence in the film, left me a little underwhelmed with that aspect. Electrifying stuff, nevertheless.

    @Nawabi Saand: Yaar Delhi mein to I don’t know- you get them pirated here in Calcutta, though not too many titles and quality can be dicey… but a friend of mine gets them from Bangladesh (@ 40 bucks each!) and they have excellent quality, so I borrow movies from him. See if you can get them from a DVD library like Cinema Paradiso or something. Or come over to Calcutta and I’ll make sure you get your dose of Kubrick Magic! Unfortunate that original and uncensored titles aren’t available legally and widely in India.

    @Jahan (#97)
    Thanks for the reply. With regards to acting in the movie, I felt it was a lot more theatrical than ‘original’. It might have been to mimic a certain milieu as imagined by the director and the writer and I do not have anything against it. I agree that technically, this movie is wonderful. One cannot miss the Kubrick touch in any of his movies. And yes, I love the satirical mood of this movie.

    What I do not agree to, is the seemingly “tragic portrayal” that you have mentioned. I never felt so. At no point of time is the lead character remoresful or repugnant on his actions. Yes he cries and even seems lost after facing the reactions when he is out of prison but he reamins an opportunist all the while. So is everyone else.

    All the violence and excesses is just superfluous and once you disregard all that, what you see is a very straightforward (sic!) presentation. Which is why, it may seem to be lenghtier than what it is.

    I think this is one of Kubrick’s weaker (sic!) movies. He is way better when it comes to handling character depth and human emotions at a personal level.

    How can anyone get Lynch and Kubrick from a trailer guys?
    I believe the trailer should be taken at its own merit. Lynch and Kubrick cannot be ‘got’ from their complete movie even… a lot of thinking goes into ‘getting’ it even after watching the movie… I say Requiem, alright. Just coz of that camera bound to the face of the actor. But others, well I beg to differ.

    @Sarang: I agree with some of the points you make, but I don’t think it really diminishes its brilliance for me. Still, I did like The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut (even though some went over my head) more than this. Hoping to catch more of Kubrick soon.

    As for the tragic portrayal. that is exactly the point I’m making- despite the fact that ‘at no point of time is the lead character remoresful or repugnant on his actions’ and that he remains an ‘opportunist all the while’, I personally was feeling sorry for him and was still rooting for him. So was everyone else seeing the film with me. :) But I guess different people are bound to react differently to a film- that’s the beauty of the movies.

    I dont know if the people here are so lavishly praising it only because its PFC. And honestly, am not too sure about how good or bad it would be. I really hope its not self indulgent, which I though NS was. I know I will face a lot of flak here with all the fans of these kinds of films and of AK on PFC, but honestly, I really really hope to see the Anurag that I saw in BF. What a film that was! It is my fear, and I hope that i am wrong, is that AK might just be self indulgent in this film.. Fingers crossed!

    I can guess what your fears are, but i think someone like AK has to be self indulgent. U wont get a steady streamline of very watchable movies from guys like AK, RGV and likes… but somehow they manage to pull one amazing piece of CINEMA….
    even in the not so good movies, they some truly masterpieces.
    RGV’s Nishabd is a case in point.

    Aarti, I can’t speak for everyone else, but i’m genuinely excited about this whole concept of a modern adaptation of Devdas.

    Besides, Abhay makes some very interesting choices.
    Add to that, the imagery and music are quite a lethal combo.

    As for self indulgent directors?
    Well, I guess there’s a very thin line between self indulgency and a directors stamp.

    At times it’ll work, and at others it won’t.

    I’ve been watching the trailer again and again, I can’t wait for this to come out. Abhay is a really good actor, loved him in Manorama and Lucky. I loved No Smoking, too. I think the comparisons to “Requiem” are bound to come because of the stylized scenes of drug use. I really hope the censors don’t fuck this up for us.
