There is no way to disagree that Dev is a most Popular actor in Bengal but He is very weak in dialog delivery. Established directors like Kamaleswar Mukherjee, Srijit Mukherjee cast him in their films but they don't give more dialog to him.

Chander Pahar was the most Expensive film in Bengali industry. It was released in 2014. The film based on a Popular Novel by Bibhuti Bhusan by the same name.

Dev did not charge anything for the Movie. But Production company gave ou a brand new car after the success of Chander Pahar.
Kamaleswar Mukherjee did not take any chance to cast any new actor as Shankar. Dev was already popular in Bengal. Without Dev, the movie can't be a success. Kamaleswar cast Dev but he writes the script very cleverly. Dev was got very little dialog throughout the movie. Mainly the film was narrative. Kamaleswar did the narration himself. People admire his idea and it was no problem to involve with the story.
The same team is also coming soon with Chander Pahar 2 in the theatre.

Dev was also disappointed with this tag that he can't do well in Aarshi Nagar.
Zulfiqar : Srijit Mukherjee was the most popular and box office ruled director in Bengal. He knows very well how a movie will be successful. He is very well in Marketing as well as Casting.

Srijit took Dev in his Multi Starrer film Zulfiqar with Prasenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata, Rajatabha Dutta, Abir Chatterjee, Paoli Dam, Nusrat, Ankush and many popular actors and actresses in his film.
Srijit Mukherjee had a plan, Dev played a Dumb character. He had no dialog in this film. Many people said that It was a great move with this tricks but many critics said that Dev was not so good to play a Dumb Character, It was better if Dev got some dialog. Without Dialog Acting will become tuffer and a Non-Actor like Dev can't give the expression But the fact is Zulfiqar got a huge response from Mass people as well as Critics as a Good Film. All agree that Dev is not the One who is responsible to Success of Zulfiqar. Mainly the director and Prasenjit and other cast were the main cause to Succes of Zulfiqar.
Amazon Return : After the huge success, Kamaleswar Mukherjee is coming with New Film Amazon Return. It will be the sequel of Chander Pahar and people also called the film as Chander Pahar 2.

Dev once said in an interview that He did not want to come in politics but Mamata Banerjee requested him very much and he couldn't refuse her. So to express his situation Dev said it was like being raped. If you can't stop then enjoy. The line was previously said by an Australian coach and became a phrase. But the Dev's statement has arisen many problems and people show their protest against him in Social Media. Later Dev said sorry to the people and he expressed that he did not want to mean by what he said. If anybody was hurt by his comment he was very sorry for that.
Dev also did some good work for his Constituency Ghatal. When Ghatal was affected by Flood he went there and work on the field with his Party Workers.
Dev was spoken in Bengali in Loksabha and Speaker stopped him because he did not apply for the Permission to speak in Bengali. But Dev told that he give the letter and it was taken.
