Everyone who has seen Dev D has either loved it or hated it. I totally loved it. Production design, photography , performances , music , background score , direction – everything seemed perfect. But this post is not a review.

One question everyone who has seen the movie has is – Why is Danny Boyle thanked in the beginning of the movie?

Heres the answer from the director , Anurag Kashyap :

I did not want to show drugs in the film. But the script demanded it, so I had to find a way to do it. That is where Danny Boyle came in handy.

I was shooting in London, and we needed some kind of help. I knew Danny, so I called him.

On learning that I was in his city, he invited me to lunch. Abhay Deol, my cameraman and I went to meet him. I discussed the scene and asked him if there is a way I could make my camera trip rather than the actor.

Danny suggested this camera he had used to shot Slumdog Millionaire, which shoots up to 11 frames per seconds. He told me he got it from Holland and so we ordered one and we experimented with it.

Dev D is brilliant .. dont miss it !
