&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film is divided into three parts from the point of view of the main characters :-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Paro===&lt;br /&gt;
Paro ([[Mahi Gill]]) is an idealistic, young, middle-class girl living in Punjab. Her childhood sweetheart is Dev ([[Abhay Deol]]), the son of a rich businessman. Paro cares for him immensely, and fully expects a future with him.&lt;br /&gt;
Dev constantly takes Paro&amp;#039;s love and affection for granted. He grows up to be arrogant and lazy, which causes his father to send him to [[London]] to complete his education. While separated by distance, Paro and Dev&amp;#039;s youthful love only blossoms more, despite Dev becoming increasingly more egotistical and entitled. After finishing his studies, Dev returns to Chandigarh and meets Paro, and they rekindle their romance. After some time, Dev overhears scandalous rumours about Paro concerning her reputation and sexual history, which he immediately believes. Paro is shocked to see Dev&amp;#039;s chauvinist attitude towards her, even after she claims innocence. Dev hypocritically passes judgement on Paro and does not approve of the things that he has heard. Paro turns her back on him when she hears him insult her and rashly agrees to marry a man of her parents&amp;#039; choice. On her wedding day, Dev learns that the rumors were false but his ego doesn&amp;#039;t let him accept his mistake, and he lets Paro marry someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chanda===&lt;br /&gt;
Leni ([[Kalki Koechlin]]) is a Delhi student of half-European descent. A date with her much older boyfriend turns sexual and lands Leni in an [[DPS MMS Scandal|MMS sex scandal]]. The incident becomes public knowledge after the video is widely circulated. Her father, having watched the video, commits suicide out of shame and disgust, and Leni&amp;#039;s family decides to send her to live in a small rural town. Refusing to live a life of shame and ridicule, she returns to Delhi where she works as a [[prostitute]] at night, while continuing with her studies during the day. She adopts the name &amp;#039;Chanda&amp;#039; for her profession. Her &amp;#039;foreign&amp;#039; looks mean her services are reserved for the highest-paying customers and she finds some dignity and independence in the new way of living. One night, an inebriated, half-conscious customer is brought to her room - it turns out to be Dev.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dev===&lt;br /&gt;
Dev, tormented by Paro&amp;#039;s wedding, has been seeking refuge in alcohol and drugs. He finds some solace with Chanda but is unable to forget Paro. While in a drug fueled haze, he calls Paro&amp;#039;s husband in the middle of the night, Paro visits him at the cheap lodge where he is staying. She shows her love by taking care of him but spurns his attempts at physical intimacy. The meeting ends on a bitter note, and Paro returns to her married life. Dev resolves to go back to Chanda, but confronted by the reality of her profession, he abandons her, too. He resumes his destructive lifestyle of alcohol, drugs, and reckless behaviour. Months later, after his life has completely fallen apart and hit an all-time low, Dev attempts to pick up the pieces. He seeks Chanda once again and, with her help, sets out to start life afresh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Cultural references==&lt;br /&gt;
* Kalki&amp;#039;s character is a modern adaptation of [[Chandramukhi (character)|Chandramukhi]], who was most recently played by [[Madhuri Dixit]] in [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]]&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Devdas (2002 Hindi film)|Devdas]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. In the film, the young Leni is shown to be a fan of Madhuri&amp;#039;s, listening to the songs of Chandramukhi. When she takes up prostitution as profession, she adopts the name Chandramukhi or Chanda, in honor of the character.&lt;br /&gt;
* Chanda&amp;#039;s back story in which she gets embroiled in an [[DPS MMS Scandal|MMS scandal while in school is a reference to a similar scandal that took place at Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram in 2004]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;tart&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Tart with a heart |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/tart-with-a-heart/articleshow/5451985.cms |first=Nikhat |last=Kazmi |date=16 January 2010|publisher=[[Times of India]] Crest Edition |access-date=Sep 2, 2015|quote=The turning point in Leni&amp;#039;s life was the MMS scandal and Kashyap confesses he used the reference to the DPS MMS scandal to show what happens to a person whose privacy is affected by cheap, hidden cameras.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

==Production==&lt;br /&gt;
===Origins===&lt;br /&gt;
The original idea of film was suggested by [[Abhay Deol]] to [[Anurag Kashyap]], who then worked on the script along with [[Vikramaditya Motwane]], using &amp;quot;news headlines about [[Generation X]]&amp;quot; to give a youth feel. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dev.D&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was produced by [[Ronnie Screwvala]] and shot in places including [[Paharganj]] in central [[Delhi]].&amp;lt;ref name=hind&amp;gt;[http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/009200812100932.htm &amp;#039;Dev D&amp;#039; is not like Sudhir Mishra&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Aur Devdas&amp;#039;], &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Hindu]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Wednesday, 10 December 2008.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For the scenes where Dev is high, British director [[Danny Boyle]] suggested the use of a still camera as Kashyap did not have the budget for special effects.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/being-treated-like-the-other-woman-drives-me/417097/0|title=Being treated like the other woman drives me&amp;#039; - Indian Express|website=archive.indianexpress.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Development===&lt;br /&gt;
Kashyap did not want another remake of any of the nine film versions titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Devdas]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238936/movieconnections|title=Devdas (2002)|via=www.imdb.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=remake&amp;gt;[http://passionforcinema.com/trying-to-make-my-film-in-the-big-bad-bollywood-devd-and-others/ Passionforcinema.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080905034649/http://passionforcinema.com/trying-to-make-my-film-in-the-big-bad-bollywood-devd-and-others/ |date=5 September 2008 }}, 9 July 2007, Anurag Kashyap interview&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kashyap wanted to make his own version of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Devdas&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to reflect the original novel but through 2008 mores, with the lead character of Devdas as a debauching, hypocritical sensualist, who is self-destructive without knowing it.&amp;lt;ref name=remake/&amp;gt; Talking about the story and his role as Dev, Abhay Deol told [[Radio Sargam]], &amp;quot;The story is very much from the book which I&amp;#039;ve read in English. I have played the character according to my interpretation of the book. His character was contemporary, he was quite urban in many ways, he&amp;#039;s misplaced in the surrounding and has a spoilt, obsessive and addictive personality.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.radiosargam.com/films/archives/31925/abhay-deol-talks-to-radio-sargam-about-dev-d.html RadioSargam.com], &amp;quot;Abhay Deol talks to Radio Sargam about Dev D&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Initial delays===&lt;br /&gt;
After the box office disaster of Kashyap&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[No Smoking (2007 film)|No Smoking]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, it was rumoured that [[UTV Software Communications|United Television (UTV)]] had backed out of the director&amp;#039;s next project, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dev.D&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, starring Abhay Deol. But, according to sources, UTV had signed Abhay for three projects and the actor had blocked dates from November 2007 to March 2008 for Kashyap&amp;#039;s film, as the idea was to wrap up the film in one schedule. When &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dev.D&amp;#039;&amp;#039; hit initial snags and was stalled, it was rumoured that UTV had backed out.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://in.movies.yahoo.com/news-detail/12990/UTV-Backs-Out-Of-Dev-D.html In.movies.yahoo], 17 November 2007, &amp;quot;UTV Backs Out Of Dev D?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At that time, the director denied these rumours. He explained the delay by saying that he was still looking out for his Chandramukhi and had locked in Abhay and newcomer [[Mahi Gill]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.buzz18.com/news/movies/its-official-ambikaanurag-split/36731/0 Buzz18.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080610044635/http://www.buzz18.com/news/movies/its-official-ambikaanurag-split/36731/0 |date=10 June 2008 }}, 1 February 2008, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s official: Ambika-Anurag split- Anurag&amp;#039;s film will be now produced by Spotboy, a sister concern of UTV&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It was further delayed as he took more time to find an actress suitable for the role of Chandramukhi, which he eventually found with [[Kalki Koechlin]], who was one of the last to be auditioned.&amp;lt;ref name=hind/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Box office==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dev.D&amp;#039;&amp;#039; had an average opening day collection of Rs 15 million. The movie picked up in box office soon and recovered its budget of Rs 60 million in a few weeks. The net collection in its first four weeks was nearly Rs 150 million.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Bollywood box-office report of the week|publisher=Bollywood Trade News Network|url=http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/09/mar/13-bollywood-box-office-report-of-the-week-030901.asp|access-date=2009-03-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Dev D crossed added another 3&amp;amp;nbsp;million in week 6.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Reviews to the film were highly positive. The widespread acclaim was chiefly due to its fearless visual style, its experimental soundtrack and the innovative narrative structure which included dividing the script into chapters as in the films of [[Quentin Tarantino]]. Rony D&amp;#039;Costa of [[Box Office India]] gave it 4 stars out of 5, stating &amp;quot;Missing Dev D would be an Emotional Attyachar to oneself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/reviews.php?page=shownews&amp;amp;articleid=783&amp;amp;nCat=movie_reviews|title=Dev.D - Review|work=boxofficeindia.com|date=15 November 2008|access-date=2008-11-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dev.D&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 3.5/5, calling it a &amp;#039;fantastic visual ride&amp;#039;, and ranked it No 2 in his list of the best movies Of 2009. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Times of India]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; reviewer Nikhat Kazmi termed the film a &amp;quot;brilliant breakthrough for Bollywood&amp;quot; and rated it 5/5.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Nandini Ramnath gave Dev-D 3 stars, calling it &amp;#039;the most arresting audio-visual experience this year&amp;#039;.
