debashish_roy asked, Good movie. But the twist was loose for people like me who expected either the story would remain same or would change drastically...but it failed in bringing it up that..... Thou Good work brought out from Abhay.... You could actually use the pain & apathy in bringing Paro back to Dev...thus exposing brighter side of upper crest ...modern culture Rich boys... As they had tasted everything and now culd remain calm & comeback to life with one he loved...
Anurag Kashyap answers, Sorry for the disappointments and thank you for the compliments. I did what I could do best.

foodie asked, hii anurag.. I loved no smoking.. and loved Dev D.. my husband and I discussed the movie for two continuous day...i thot the first half was an extended music video.. and the second half sealed the first.. love they way you cast... i feel that directors like you make cult movies.. and the reason why " no smoking bombed..is because it was too ahead of its times...Why didnt you take no smoking to the international film festivals.
Anurag Kashyap answers, We did. But I need to find my audience in my country first.

don asked, Hi, after Black Friday and No Smoking why you choose Dev.D story? Bcz when I look at both earlier moview it seems you got real sense of abstract subject lines, not everyone got... and people expect more from you, I know commerical success required but you should keep up your style alos
Anurag Kashyap answers, Am trying to do so.

Launchpaid asked, coudnt not make the movie without taking the refrence of Devdas?? were you afraid of results and u did this just for a huge publicity for your product??

Anurag Kashyap answers, Is it?

raghav asked, hi Mr.Anurag liked the way you potrayed women on the screen,bold and yet humane. Notions like womens chastity have been given over emphasis while we men go scottfree with our acts.You gave a fresh perspective by upholding womens courage and liberty to make her choices rather than being bound by these old notions vis a vis her partner.kudos i wanted to know if you really approve paru bedding with another guy in the absence of Dev
Anurag Kashyap answers, I don't know. It's her choice isn't it?
