Deva

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.

Honestly speaking, I don't know why there is no buzz about this movie. From the acting to the cinematography to the pacing, everything has been handled so nicely and aced to perfection.

The movie revolve around the character of Dev ambre who is a police officer and is handed over the case of the death of his friend Rohan dsilva who is also a cop.

As the movie goes on the Revelations made are spectacular and unexpected to say the least.

At this point if movies like this are flop and movies like Pushpa 2 cross 500 crores on the box office the Indian movie industry is doomed to failure.

This is an amazing movie, must watch.
