About Dev.D
Set in modern-day Punjab and Delhi, the film also starred Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin in lead roles.
It follows Devendra Singh "Dev" Dhillon (Deol), a Chandigarh-based young man who gets addicted to alcohol and drugs after his failed relationship with his childhood love Parminder "Paro" Kaur (Gill).
He later forms a bond with Chanda (Koechlin), an escort.
The film hit the theatres in February 2009 and was critically acclaimed. It also became a box office success. Amit Trivedi composed the music of the film, and songs like Emosanal Attyachar and Pardesi are still popular among music lovers.
Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist, PVR INOX Limited, in a statement, shared, "We are constantly looking for definitive titles, films that have shifted something, and Dev.D is undoubtedly one of them. It is a film meant for the big screen; the landscapes, the music, and the emotions all feel far more immersive when experienced in a cinema, shared with an audience reacting in unison."
She also called the film an "essential watch to understand the diversity of storytelling that Anurag Kashyap brings to his craft."
