raj asked, do you think directors go too far to prove themself different from others...and making the present the tale in a more complex way then it should...have you been victim of the same?
Anurag Kashyap answers, I just stay the way I am. To prove anything is not my thing.
Mr. Raj asked, Hi Anurag, can you name few hollywood movies that you would remember for long time. I haven't see DevD yet...but I think your film on bomb blasts (forgot its name) was better in my opinion of what i have seen so far. Please comment.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, Requeim For A Dream, Raging Bull, Blood Simple, Pulp Fiction.

neerajbhatt asked, is the movie worth to see by spending 3 hours and Rs150.
Anurag Kashyap answers, It's 2 hours and 15 minutes, and is your life worth living? If it is then the movie is worth watching.

Anurag Kashyap answers, He told me about the camera ... of how to shoot the trippy sequences.
kamaal asked, Hi Anurag, Kamaal here....I think you came on chat at rediff after the release of No Smoking....to be frank, that movie was a big bore...rather than accepting a mistake that you made a bad film..you said audience isn't ready yet for your kinda cinema...if thats the case, then why don't you make movies when we are ready?
Anurag Kashyap answers, I make what I want to. You watch what you have too.
arjunsomireddy asked, My favourite scene in the movie was the scene where the DEV story begins and Abhey is sitting in the metro starring a stranger in the face combined with the rock version of emotional attyachar....it was just dazzling and spine chilling for me...Great job...Whats your favorite scene in the movie?
Anurag Kashyap answers, The handpump scene and the swimming pool scene.
rajthegr8 asked, hello anurag, i loved no smoking really. i loved ranvir shorey and john's sepia tinted scene where they play young guys? was the laugh track manipulation in that inspired by scene of rodney dangerfield in natural born killers? also jesse randhawa lipsynching to adnan sami was damn trippy. also loved dev d. it was looks to be quite sweet natured. i am a gr8 to see kalki koechlin as not just another pretty face. she is genuinely talented and fan. i also liked abhay del a lot. send this movie to oscars.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Oscars is too far fetched. Lets think about the box office now. If you like it, then spread the word.
