- Daas Dev is a 2018 romantic-thriller, with an interesting, modern take on the classic tale of DevDas-Paro-Chandramukhi love triangle, starring Rahul Bhat as Dev, the supremely talented Richa Chadda as Paro, and Aditi Rao Hydari as Chandni.
- The film starts with a politician Vishambhar Pratap Chauhan (Anurag Kashyap) giving a speech who dies soon after a helicopter crash. After Vishambhar's death Awadesh Pratap Chauhan (Saurabh Shukla) takes over the reins of the party. Vishambhar's son Dev (Rahul Bhat) grows up and is living a lavish lifestyle and is a drug addict. Paro (Richa Chadda) is Dev's childhood friend and secretly loves him. He owes Crores and Crores of money to financiers. They kidnap him and when his girlfriend Paro calls one of their well wishers SHrikant Sahay (Dalip Tahil) he is rescued. Then his uncle suffers a heart stroke and then Dev returns to claim his father's legacy.
Chandni Mehra (Aditi Rao Hydari) is Shrikant's mistress and an escort and one of her jobs is to "handle" Dev and to keep him on track. Chandni becomes his fuck buddy when Shrikant forces Dev to give up drugs. Naval Singh (Anil George) is Paro's dad and used to under Vishambhar's patronage. When he died, Awadesh didn't kick them out of their house, but did remove Naval from the party. Paro was always angry about this, although Naval was still loyal to Vishambhar's family. Naval & Paro still work together for farmer's rights in the area, against Awadesh's rival politicians Ramashray Shukla (Vipin Sharma) and his nephew Milan Shukla (Vineet Kumar Singh). Milan has a thing for Paro.
Prabhunath Singh (Deepraj Rana) was the Bahubali with Awadesh & used to help him in grabbing land that could be sold later for exorbitant profits. Chandni fixes Dev to attend one of his mom's Sushila Devi's (Sohaila Kapur) political rallies and arranges some goons to attack her. This allows Dev to act as a hero in front of the public and take over the legacy of his father & uncle.
Ramashray offers a party ticket to fight elections on his platform, against Dev. Chandni continues to choreograph Dev's political rise, but Paro is disillusioned with Dev's approach as she thinks he is not tackling the real people issues. One Day Milan comes to meet Dev at night and finds that he is spending the night with Paro. He is heartbroken. Awadesh recovers and comes back and advises Dev against marrying Paro. Awadesh wants Naval to give up the farmer's protest and allow Bauxite mining in the area. While Naval is angry that Awadesh is against Paro's marriage to Dev. Meanwhile Chandi is angry that Paro and Dev are spending nights together on the campaign trail. Dev has to leave town for a few days and behind him Prabhunath launches a clean up of the farmer's protest by bombing and killing entire villages as Naval fails to get the farmers to compromise on a price of 25 Lakhs per acre against a demand of rs 70 Lakhs per acre.
Chandni fears for Dev's political career and under advise from Shrikant, goes to fuck the CM of the state, so that he doesn't allow any repercussions to come on Dev's career or life. So, eventually Naval is arrested and jailed for the bloodshed. Awadesh convinces Naval to take the blame and go to jail to protect Dev and eventually Paro. This creates serious difference between Dev and Paro as Paro wants Dev to help release Naval, while Dev thinks that Naval is guilty, which is why he confessed.
with no one to turn to, Paro goes to Ramashray and Milan. They suggest a way out but that would mean switching alliances towards Ramshray from Awadesh & for Paro to marry Ramashray. Meanwhile Dev approaches the CM to help Naval, which implicates Prabhunath and he is now worried. Prabhunath arranges for Naval to be killed in custody. Paro blames Dev for inaction which led to Naval's death. Paro decides to marry Ramashray. Dev re-takes drugs and goes mad. Paro tells Dev that Prabhunath was responsible for the farmers killings, which led to Naval's arrest and death. Dev decides to kill Prabhunath, but Prabhunath tells Dev that Awadesh was responsible for Vishambhar's death and asks Dev to avenge his father instead. Sushila (Dev's mom) refutes this allegation & says that Paro is manipulated by Ramashray, & is fighting an election for her. She says that the info that Prabhunath killed the farmers is false. As Dev dithers, Paro takes Prabhunath to the press and helps him with a platform to make the allegation against Awadesh that he was responsible for Vishambhar's death. Then Paro's mother goes to the press to say that Dev's mom Sushila had illegal relations with Awadesh.
Awadesh now finally comes into action and kills Prabhunath. He then orders Ramashray to kill Paro. Milan is about to kill Paro, when Milan is eliminated by Chandni's hit-man. Meanwhile Sushila admits to Dev that she had relations with Awadesh. and she tricks Shrikant into confessing that he was involved in killing Vishambhar, and relays this information to Dev. Shrikant knows that Chandni betrayed him and gave this information to Sushila, so Chandni has him killed through his bodyguard.
Now Awadesh plays his final card and shows Dev a video shot by Ramashray that shows Vishambhar 20 yrs ago asking Ramashray for Rs 25 Crores to bring all the farmers on board for a dam project in the region. The video also shows Vishambhar offering to kill Awadesh if he comes in between the execution of the project. Awadesh tries to convince Dev to join him, but Dev kills Ramashray and Awadesh instead and then proceeds to attack and kill Awadesh's entire entourage. He disappears for a year and then gets together with Paro, all under the protective gauge of Chandni.
