Would you enjoy the same cuisine every birthday? Or use the same ingredients for all your meals? Or visit the same destination year after year? Variety adds excitement and that's exactly what Dev did this year on this birthday. For the past few Decembers, his films - 'Sanjhbati', 'Tonic', 'Projapoti', and 'Pradhan'- catered predominantly to family audiences and from a hero, he transformed himself into an actor. But this birthday, Dev switched gears and delivered a performance that reminded us of his long-standing prowess in a genre he hadn't revisited in a while. The result? A spectacular comeback. 'Khadaan' is everything the Bengali film industry desperately needed for quite some time. Welcome back 'hero' Dev.
At a time when South Indian films dominate our minds and the box office, luring even Bengali audiences away from mainstream fare, 'Khadaan' brings back the flavour of commercial cinema.
