Tell me what you think of this critical essay on 'Devdas':

Its a bit too long to post here.

a really good review of the film devdas EROS should use this.

wow! this reviewer is very objective and spot-on about the film. Though I didn't read through the entire essay, but I skimmed through it and it very much mimics my views on the film.

Thanks!

I wrote that piece, and I am obviously a huge admirer of the film. There are actually a few things I wanted to add to the review and I'll do that in a little while. Some visitors to the page have told me that the white on orange text is hard to read, so there is also a text-only easier-to-read version available.

Thanks again.

Well, you deserve another round of applause! Great work. Ever think about writting for http://www.upperstall.com ? Your writing reminds me of there fashion of critiquing films.

Brilliant essay. Read every word of it and I'm amazed. Good Job !!
Your review was very precise and contained support for the statements you made. Its the first Devdas review i bothered to read and i must say I was glad.

Thanks yet again !

I was informed yesterday that Dmoz is adding it to their database, but will be listing it as a 'website' rather than just a webpage. Thats good news, I presume.

Thanks to everyone whos read the essay, and for personally writing me such kind words. Also, for the member who has sent the review to Eros through both mail and e-mail, no, I don't mind that you've done that, as I don't really think they will be doing anything with it. Can you imagine them actually using the work of someone else in any form, shape or manner? From the looks of it they only rely on their fascinatingly inept staff.
