My Take
Mukul Dev represents something I deeply respect in Indian cinema: the multilingual working actor. From Delhi modeling work into Hindi and Punjabi films, then across Bengali, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu productions, he crossed language industries that many stars never leave, and that takes adaptability bordering on fearlessness. He wrote scripts as well as performed, which suggests a craftsman's curiosity about the whole machine, not just his own place in it. His passing in May 2025 closed a career defined less by headline stardom than by reliability across decades and regions. I find that kind of career more instructive than most A-list trajectories; it shows what sustained professionalism looks like in the world's busiest film culture.
