The film Dev.D is an Indian film released in 2009. Written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, it is a modern-day take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic Bengali novel Devdas, previously adapted for the screen by P.C. Barua and Bimal Roy and more recently by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Dev.D was embraced by the media, critics and public. The film is set in contemporaryPunjab and Delhi, where familial ties are negotiated by the traditions of patriarchy and marriages are reduced to a game of power and "honour". It is a tale of love, betrayal, friendship & remorse. Devdas, a rich boy falls in love with a middle class girl but the class divide complicate their simple love story. The film powerfully depicts the prevailing customs of Bengal in the early 1900s.
