Product Description

Dev.D is a modern-day love story. Dev, (Abhay Deol) Paro (Mahi Gill) And Chanda of Dev.D reflect the sensibilities, Conflicts, Aggression, Independence, Free Thought, Exuberance and Recklessness of the youth of today.

Dev who, after spurning Paro's love due to a misunderstanding, turns to drugs and vodka for solace. Paro moves on but Dev still is in remorse. He meets Chanda, a prostitute with problems of her own. Dev likes her but his penchant for self-destruction prevents him and Chanda from truly getting together. He also meets sleazy people like Chunni, Chanda's pimp who drags Dev further into self-destruction to further his own needs.
