Deva Film Review: Shahid Kapoor's Strong Performance Shines Amidst Weak Script And Lacklustre Action

Shahid Kapoor's ability to excel in any role is evident in "Deva," even when the script falls short. Despite Rosshan Andrrews' Hindi directorial lacking impact, Shahid's performance stands out, salvaging the film from being a complete letdown. Marketed as an action thriller and masala entertainer, the movie misses the mark with its lack of engaging action sequences.

Here's a concise review of "Deva" without spoilers!

Shahid Kapoor effortlessly portrays a rugged cop, showcasing his acting prowess. His versatility confirms his status as one of Bollywood's finest actors. However, Pooja Hegde's potential is overshadowed by her weak character. It's high time Bollywood filmmakers give equal importance to all lead roles.

"Uchi dukan, pheeka pakwan" aptly describes "Deva." The trailer promised much, but the final product disappoints. The film follows a predictable template with no impactful dialogues or thrilling action scenes. Despite having elements like drama, music, thrill, and action, the film suffers from a slow pace and disjointed scenes.

"Deva" was expected to be 'deadly, daunting and destructive,' but it ended up being underwhelming. The director and scriptwriter failed to fully develop its potential as a masala entertainer.
