Devi (2016) is an Indian Bengali Romance Tragedy film directed by Rick Basu and made under Macneill Engineering Limited. DEVI (2017) is an adaptation and deconstruction of an age old classic, ‘DEVDAS’, by the great Bengali writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. The plot of the film is almost same as the original novel with little twist and the major change is that now a woman is going to play ‘Devdas’.

Plot
In this film the gender of the main characters has been reversed and all of them are placed in twenty-first century.

Devdas becomes Devi, Paro becomes Prateek, Chandramukhi becomes Charlie and Chuni Babu becomes Nadia Petrova.

Devi is a video-blogger and uploads her videos on Youtube. She left Kolkata because she wanted higher studies leaving Prateek behind. After coming back for almost a decade she meets Prateek again and wants him to behave like nothing happened. Prateek’s refusal makes her furious and she leaves for her work and there she meets Charlie, a masseuse by day and an escort by night. And the mind behind their meeting is Nadia Petrova – a woman who deals in all kinds of things.

The treatment of the film is done in such a way that it can recreate that magic of the novel. Some changes have been done as the time-frame has evolved a lot and position of men-women also escalated.
