Deva Movie Review
Rosshan Andrrews, who is known for directing Malayalam movies like Kayamkulam Kochunni and Salute makes his direction debut in Bollywood with Deva. He has done a good job on his Bollywood debut. The way he handled the narrative and presented the story deserves praise. He keeps the tension, and excitement throughout its runtime. The cinematography is good, capturing and delivering minute details.
Talking about the performances, Shahid Kapoor is back with a bang. We have seen Shahid Kapoor in an angry avatar in films like Kaminey, Haider, and Kabir Singh. He is such a versatile actor, last year in February 2024, he was seen in a completely different role in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Now, he is back in angry style in Deva as Dev Ambre. Shahid Kapoor impresses the audience with his brilliant performance. The ruthless aggression, intensity, and fire he brought into his character are outstanding. His expressions are top-notch. Also, special mention for his dance, energy, and style.
Pooja Hegde as a journalist played her part superbly. Though she has a limited screen presence, she left a mark with her act. It is the first film of Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde together and their chemistry brings freshness on-screen. Pavail Gulati and Pravesh Rana also performed well. Girish Kulkarni and Kubbra Sait were equally impressed with their roles.
The music of the film is good. The song Bhasad Macha is already a chartbuster. The background score by Jakes Bejoy adds a swag and elevates the narrative. The crisp editing could have made it much better.
The first hour of the film has a gripping plot with high-octane action sequences. The second half feels a little dragged and slow, but the surprising climax makes up for it.
Final Verdict
Deva is a classy mass entertainer filled with action, emotions, swag, and thrill. Shahid Kapoor has been outstanding with his performance and also the climax deserves a mention. If you are a fan of action movies, Deva is for you.
