akbars asked, We need movie makers like you and more than that we need producers who support movie makers like you! Honestly, i have been let down by the type of movies that people come out with now a days. If people consider hero jumping around like a baboon and cracking sad ass jokes as entertainment then god save the film industry! I like my movie viewing experience to be thought provoking and that exactly what your movies provide! Bravo Anurag Bravo!
Anurag Kashyap answers, Cinema is changing. Have faith.

Sumit_bangalore asked, Hi Anuraag , ur work NO Smoking was better than Dev D, I watched the movie yesterday. First half was good and nice fun to watch , second half was too lengthy and scenes were kinda repeated , a shorter second half would have been better. Wats ur view ?

Anurag Kashyap answers, I don't know what happened between them. Paro knows best.

pj asked, DevD was the first movie of yours I watched. I really dig you attention to detail. The posters and paintings were really well done. Of course I know they were cleverly placed. Good job brother. May your tribe increase
Anurag Kashyap answers, Thanks.

leo asked, hi many congratulation for the success... i personally didnt like devdas.. neither novel nor movie...but i have to say DEV D justs rocks... istead of going mad and thinking of only paro...he realises Chanda is the one whom he shall love. The most hilarious part was abhay gulps down the ticket of the lady in the BUS. Simply great. abhay is a talent pwer house..i think you should cast him again. And the way you have added the humour touch to the story...hats of to you man.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Thank you.

Ashwin asked, Anurag I congratulate you for your effort in making in Dev D , you have shown the reality of how life turns , Do u think you could have added a bit more for the role of Paru towards end

Anurag Kashyap answers, Would have reshot Duniya a little bit.

thisishits asked, Hi Anurag, I love movies that are different from a typical Indian masala movie. I know I would like Dev D because its different and because it has Abhay. Can you tell me what makes Abhay special other than scripts he chooses??
