If you're a fan of action thrillers with emotional complexity, Deva is a must-see. Shahid Kapoor's portrayal of the titular character is nothing short of remarkable, capturing a range of emotions from vulnerability to unyielding strength. The film's action sequences are raw and gripping, choreographed to perfection to give you that edge-of-your-seat feeling. The cinematography is stunning, offering visually captivating moments that add to the film's atmospheric tension. The music complements the high stakes of the narrative, with a score that enhances the suspense and emotion. The supporting cast adds layers of depth, ensuring that the story resonates on a deeper level. For an action-packed film that's also emotionally rewarding, Deva is a true winner.
I saw DEVA yesterday.
For me I feel those who have already watched Mumbai Police will not like this movie as it is frame to frame copy of Mumbai Police with the same killer but with a change in murder motive.
As I haven't seen the original movie, this movie had a potential to be the best murder mystery movie. However, the screenplay was really bad as well as it's not a commercial movie. This will work only in OTT.
Even the best acting couldn't save this movie as it had a really weak climax (although the build-up was really great) you'll keep on guessing who is the real killer?
It had some dull moments but having said that it's worth a one time watch only for those who haven't seen the original version.
Two biggest problem with this movie is the dull screenplay and lack of chartbuster songs (although there's no scope of songs in this movie). But atleast it should have some bangers. If it was a T-series production, I guarantee it would had atleast 3-4 bangers which would have definitely helped the movie to create the much needed pre-release buzz.
P. S- People who like crime mysteries (such as crime patrol) will absolutely love this movie.

More unnecessary attitude, only hero smokes in entire movie. Every where, marriage, Funerals, police station, house, in fact every scene. Movie taken on one line story... one can understand the story by fast forwarding the video.

Wached the movie and u can't ignore but notice from the very first scene that Shahid Kapoor in every scene is trying to impress with his screen presence. Irritating after a point. The screenplay was jumping all over the place in a non-linear confusing way. Yet, director was able to hold it together somehow as the story is interesting. Unlike most hindi movies, it had a story, making one curious, what is in store, what will be the twist. And behold, it had a twist that is very interesting and u admire it for originality. But wait, bollywood movie and originality? So you start wondering is it a lift-off from a Korean movie ! So you search in google and there it is. Original is a Malayalam movie. Even the director is the same.
Now you have to watch the original as the Bollywood version is left with a promise, lot of missed opportunities to make a good movie, kind of spoiling a good story and made into a "hero" Shahid movie. And behold, the original has a great screenplay, wonderful acting by prithviraj and u watch it like a all new gripping movie.
So when you watch the original, all you feel is pity for Bollywood. Just that it is bollywood and its hero culture, style without substance (similar to many telegu movies) formula, overall lack of talent in the mainstream that a good story like this from a malayalam movie by the same director is spoiled into a mediocre one.
Morale of Deva, you give a good movie to bollywood and they will ensure it is made it in to an average one. Drishyam may be the only two movies made reasonably well by copying scene to scene. That's the only way.

DEVA is good nail biting murder mystery with Shahid doing an excellent job while the others were average at best. The direction,screenplay &editing were equally good. Luckily there was only 1 song which although not out of place was inserted only to show Shahid's great talent as a dancer. Although this mothion picture carrying a length of 2.hrs 36 minutes was definitely too long,I did not find any unnecessary scenes which needed to be deleted. The movie totally centered around Shahid Kappor so the others just had to fade very much in the background. All in all a good film which should not be missed
7/10.
