“Dev.D” (2009) is a modern-day adaptation of the classic Bengali novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, directed by Anurag Kashyap. The film reimagines the tragic love story in a contemporary setting, exploring themes of heartbreak, self-destruction, and redemption. Dev, a wealthy and self-indulgent man, spirals into addiction and despair after a breakup with his childhood sweetheart, Paro. Along the way, he crosses paths with Chanda, a sex worker with her own troubled past, and their relationship gradually becomes a path to healing. Known for its experimental storytelling, edgy visuals, and genre-defying music, Dev.D became a cult classic in Indian cinema.
