The Sudhir Mishra film has lofty ambition but not enough impact

One such moment I loved has three people, two men and a woman, caught in an embarrassingly intimate moment: she tosses it off with a laugh, and we laugh with her, not at her.

Not a brooding love story

'Daas Dev' has its high points but in totality the film doesn't grip you. For those who are expecting a film like 'Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi', one of Sudhir Mishra�s earlier films which artfully combined politics and love, this contemporary take on Devdas will leave you wanting for more. (more)

This Film Is Strictly Restricted To A Few Sips!

Unfortunately, the director tries to pack in too many things but ends up sinking the ship instead.
