Dev D

Anurag Kashyap should kill Abhay Deol.
Abhay Deol should kill Mahi Gill.
Mahi Gill should kill Kalki Koechlin.
Bollywood should kill the entire crew of Dev D.
And we, the self-respecting intelligent movie viewers of the world, must kill Anurag Kashyap.

Shah Jahan cut off the hands of his craftsmen after they built the Taj Mahal. He didn't want want them to recreate it somewhere else. May be he didn't even want them to practise their craft again. They had done the greatest thing they could have done. Something which can not be bettered. When you reach the point beyond which you can not improve, you cease to live. Whatever you do, is a mere shadow of the greatness you had achieved. Futile attempts to recreate the sublime. There's no point in crawling along, resting on your laurels. Kurt Cobain knew when to die. He could not have done anything better than what he had already done. So he left.

To the team behind Dev D, Thank you.
Now please die.
