All Dev ever wanted was LOVE....
Goofs:
Continuity
(at around 1 min) Chunni calls out to Chanda to show her the bike he has purchased for her. While Chanda looks out from the balcony, Chunni points to himself, his body language leading to my conclusion that it is for him, while this mismatch is carefully patched by adding a dialogue ("Yes, for you") from Chunni, while the camera focuses on Chanda.

Factual Mistake
Dev calls Paro and the time shown in the movie is 11PM. Just after the call Dev goes to buy liquor but Dev is staying in Delhi and in Delhi liquor shops are closed by 10PM.

Miscellaneous
At around 59 mins Chunni calls out to Chanda to show her the bike he has purchased for her. While Chanda looks out from the Balcony, Chunni points to himself, his body language leading to my conclusion that it is for himself, while this mismatch is carefully patched by adding a dialogue ("Yes, for you") from Chunni, while the camera focuses on Chanda.
Trivia:
The film is a modern-day take on the classic Bengali novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

The idea of the film was suggested to director Anurag Kashyap by lead actor Abhay Deol, long before Abhay became an actor.

Upon being asked why he cast newcomer Abhay Deol, director Anurag Kashyap simply replied, "He has turned out to be one of the best. When everybody wants to be a hero, he plays the character."

British director Danny Boyle helped Anurag Kashyap with the 'tripping away' scenes by introducing him to a special camera from Holland. This let Kashyap show whats going on inside characters mind during the drug shots without actually showing drugs.
