Previous Dev Movie Review (36 Reviews)
Joint commissioner of Police Dev Pratap Singh(Amitabh Bachchan) is a proud, weathered police officer, and Special commissioner Tejinder Khosla(Om Puri) is the balancing force between the political interests of Chief Minister Bhandarker(Amrish Puri) and Dev's commitment to the law.

The story is the tale of these two men and their bond of friendship, which sees a change in tide because of the people and the circumstances around them, where Farhaan(Fardeen Khan) emerges as a wedge driving them apart.

Farhaan is an unemployed law graduate who is the childhood sweetheart of Aalia(Kareena Kapoor), a charming romantic person who is the ray of light in Farhaan's life. But Aaliya and Farhaan soon get caught in extraordinary circumstances that transform their lives. The story unfolds against the vitiated backdrop of present times where innocent lives become fodder for political expediency.

Farhaan's father, Ali Saheb's violent death leaves him emotionally orphaned, because he was a man who had brought Farhaan up with ideas of patriotism and non-violence, but now cynicism and hatred slowly starts taking roots in the young man's heart. The spark of violence unknowingly set off by Farhaan under the aegis of Latif(Eshaan Khan), a cunning and ambitious politico, engulfs the whole city. And Dev finds himself pitted aginst all odds in maintaining the peace in a disturbed world where no one is willing to see reason, plunging all in a sea of violence.

Tej trangresses beyond the boundaries of law in his passion to crime, because of which Dev is faced with the spectre of the tragic human cost, and an ethical pressure to face.

Dev and Tej are set on a path of dramatic collision, but ironically, Dev and Farhaan's fates get irreversibly linked...two soldiers whose allegiances were to different causes, but the admiration for each other's courage and integrity brings them together. Dev is thus the bold tale of circumstances that arise when stakes rise beyond self-interest...and when a fearless voice makes it its business to be heard. It is the story of what makes Dev Pratap Singh walk the razor's edge.
