A MOVIE-ING TWIST TO THE DEVDAS SAGA

(I was bowled over by Anurag Kashyap's Dev-D, almost unanimously critically acclaimed for its cinematic qualities and for a new vision of the self-pitying, drowning-in-drink, unable-to-act tragic lover Devdas.)

Anurag Kashyap’s Dev-D does drown in sorrow,
When he is unable to marry his beloved Paro,


He drinks, he dopes, he goes round the bend,
But there’s a modern, upbeat twist at the end,

Dev goes with Chanda, saying “purani baatein chhoro”.

  1. That was a good one from you Ms Sarkar,
    You handle so well this literary 'prakaar'!

Some like prose and some like verse,
Enjoy these lines that we disburse,
We do the stuff in fun,
And should you not like one,
Please feel free, below, to curse ......
