About the Film:

Produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur under Roy Kapur Films, Deva stars Shahid Kapoor as a fearless police officer, alongside Pooja Hegde as a journalist and Pavail Gulati as ACP Rohan D’Silva. The movie is an adaptation of the 2013 Malayalam hit Mumbai Police, but its climax has been tweaked to offer a fresh twist.

Speaking about his character, Shahid Kapoor compared Deva to his previous roles, saying, “It’s an aggressive character, but Deva is unique. It’s not like Kabir Singh or Tommy Singh. Deva is very much its own story.”

The plot revolves around a brilliant and rebellious cop who uncovers layers of deceit and betrayal while solving a high-profile case. Despite its engaging premise, the movie received mixed reviews, though Shahid’s performance has been widely praised.

Mixed Reception and Challenges:

With only 5.92% Hindi occupancy on February 6, Deva faces an uphill battle at the box office. Its comparison to Kabir Singh and the tweaks to its original Malayalam storyline have garnered polarized opinions from audiences and critics alike.

Outlook:

As Deva continues its run, industry analysts suggest the film will need stronger word-of-mouth to maintain its momentum. Despite the challenges, Shahid’s performance has kept fans intrigued, solidifying his reputation as a versatile actor.
