" Style is the man " - these lines of Alexander Pope is an ample testimony to the persona of Dev Anand. His romantic exuberance had permeated from the evanescence of real life to the eternal life of art.His evergreen presence is to be rated with the style ,and the spirit that he infused rather than kayakalp or sanjeevani.Even before the globalisation drive had started he had served as a parameter of a synthesis of East and West, and the death of that cult figure is an immense loss to Indian cinema.
