Deva is the kind of action thriller that keeps your heart racing till the very end! Shahid Kapoor is at his absolute best, portraying a character filled with grit and determination. The action is hard-hitting, blending realism with stylish execution. The direction is sharp, maintaining a relentless pace without a single dull moment. The background score is pulsating, adding intensity to every crucial scene. The cinematography captures the mood beautifully, making every frame feel larger than life. If you love thrillers with gripping storytelling and stunning visuals, Deva is a must-watch! Worth watching movie.
Rosshan Andrrews' Deva, starring Shahid Kapoor, is a rework of the director's own 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police, with some plot changes while retaining the core narrative. The film is a police investigation thriller, somewhat weighed down by a dragged-out and incohesive screenplay to make it looks more massy. Amit Roy's cinematography effectively captures the streets of Mumbai, with real-location shoots adding authenticity. The editing feels somewhat choppy, affecting the film's pacing. Jakes Bejoy delivers a solid massy score, but it feels underutilized during key suspense moments. The action set pieces are executed well integrating mass moments. However the balance between massyness and thrill does feel off.
Shahid Kapoor delivers yet another brilliant performance as Dev Ambre. His body language and rowdiness are well-balanced by his ability to portray deep emotions. Pavail Gulati gives a commendable performance, while Pravesh Rana provide good support, along with Girish Kulkarni and Upendra Limaye. Although Pooja Hegde does an okay job but her character doesn't have much to do in the film. Deva also suffers from few loose ends and felt that it doesn't answer certain plot points. Overall, despite an average screenplay, good direction, and an amazing Shahid Kapoor, Deva results in a decent thriller.
OVERALL -6/10.
