Abhay Deol And Mahie Gill Recreate Their ‘Dev D’ Magic In Photoshoot, Fans Demand An Encore

The year 2018 has not been about the Khans or Kapoors in Bollywood. It has been a year for actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal. Andhadhun is a movie that has ushered in a new era in Indian cinema. But this isn’t the first time a movie has broken the paradigm and garnered immense love from the masses. Dev D did it almost 10 years ago.

This film directed by Anurag Kashyap was a stellar contemporary recreation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel Devdas. The edgy storyline coupled with power-packed performances by the lead actors made it an instant success. Abhay Deol, Mahie Gill and Kalki Koechlin made their way into our hearts and never left.

Which is why when Abhay Deol shared this photo shoot on Instagram, everyone was pretty excited.

These images bring to mind something Ted Grant once said:

“When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”

Don’t you feel that’s true? So much emotion has been captured and each picture has a story to tell. Netizens are loving the chemistry between the pair and demanding that they work on another movie together. Dev D returns, maybe? Or something entirely different this time around.

When we revisit songs from Dev D like Emosanal Attyachaar, Pardesi or Duniya, it’s hard to remember we first heard them so long ago. They’re still as relevant as ever. And the movie too. Time for a nostalgic rerun, we think. To make the wait more bearable.

Are there any other Bollywood pairings you’d like to see work together in a movie? Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, Alia Bhatt and Ayushmann Khurrana or Ranveer Singh and Kalki Koechlin? Tell us.
