That movie should not be analyzed in terms of the year it was released. A point should be taken here that they tried to give it a feel of year 2000 but used over the top, unreal, melodramatic sets only to prove the point that the movie is based on a novel written 100 years ago. By the way, what is wrong with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I can't really relate to the dreamy ambiance in the scenes of his movies. Last I checked "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" was his best attempt to give something believable to the audience. Since than it has only been look-what-a-grand-set-i-have.<br />Dev D. was a very practical and a precisely relative adaption.<br /><br />And Prashant as the title of post says, I think the plot of the new DON suggests that public at current times do not believe in "Good Man wins in the End" theory anymore. The problem is not the plot of the movie, it's that the way they tried to pursued the audience to take the wrong side. Showing the negative in positive light is not new. And all that for a possible sequel. And yes, the fans went gaga over the mindless adaptation. I guess you are right, movies mirror the Society.Nidhesh Pandeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694519937453036093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-24441906545037328732009-10-16T02:21:27.188+05:302009-10-16T02:21:27.188+05:30Avik ji,

So, a rigorous comparison wouldn't have been possible. However, i have mentioned the third Dev in all the points which i brought up - though i agree that the third Dev didn't get as many words as the other two.<br /><br />"Kyunki..." has changed the tastes of the viewers. I cannot, but just wonder at the wonders it created.<br /><br />Thanks for the candid feedback. Though i think, the title is reflective of the content, i agree about the dates - i dreaded dates in school. And repeatative dates, i agree, are very irritating.Prashant Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828932160526823509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-83922874213519286352009-10-16T02:15:17.751+05:302009-10-16T02:15:17.751+05:30Nethra A ji,

That makes me epileptic. I have not seen this movie. Only when my mind goes demented would i see this movie. You never know when it goes demented :-pPrashant Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828932160526823509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-66419764432664266902009-10-15T01:29:00.409+05:302009-10-15T01:29:00.409+05:30The title made me think (as a reader) that the con...The title made me think (as a reader) that the content will depict or show some phases of society but although the starting was a bang on it lost its importance or motive towards the middle and was completely away from the title at the end.<br />So I guess the title and content do not match which should not be the case in a good write up.<br />The attempt to compare the 3 'Dev' movies was actually done between 2'Dev's and the 3rd was hardly mentioned. The usage of year (1950,2002 and 2009)was quite irritating towards the end.<br />Last not the least please explain me why in almost all your write up you give the example of 'saas-bahu saga – Kyunki Saas bhi kabhi Bahu Thi'?

I mean, if all didn't went right in 'old' DON, it would have made the new DON. <br /><br />In the new DON, SRK used to work for a businessman and wasn't his own boss while in 'old' Don Amitabh was. This perhaps hints at the change in attitude towards the businessmen - Businessmen seem to have become more powerful.Prashant Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828932160526823509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372782620110680840.post-44070496303139149572009-10-14T22:56:58.427+05:302009-10-14T22:56:58.427+05:30yes ure pretty much true.Likewise for eg in recent...yes ure pretty much true.Likewise for eg in recent DON ,hero and villain are the same character.Here the mantra was the Survival of the fittest where as the earlier Don was pretty much straigtforward.Coz of this unpredicatable situvations all around us,we apprecite the element of unpredicatability in films too.rahul shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562092558093441674noreply@blogger.com
