Devi is about a a guy Krishna (Prabhu Deva) who works in Mumbai and wants to marry an ultra modern girl. However when his grandmother gets sick his father calls him back to the village. There they meet a village girl Devi (Tamannaah Bhatia) who Krishna's dad arranges a marriage with, so that Krishna can get married before his grandmothers time is up.
They get married and head back to Mumbai where Krishna tries to get rid of her and send her back to the village. However it all changes when she gets possessed by the ghost of Ruby an aspiring actress who had committed suicide and who wants to now use Devi's body to star in a film.
Devi has a pretty good storyline, it's not something to write home about but it's quite decent and it does it's job, especially when paired with some great on screen performances. The movie has both comedy and horror as well as a solid underlying story; in the form of seeing poor Krishna trying to deal with his possessed wife while also falling in love with her (Devi not Ruby!). This combined with the dual nature of Devi/Ruby and how it's all juggled on screen form the core of the movie. All in all I enjoyed the story, though Krishna should have been a bit smarter and gone to a temple for a Brahman or something rather then play along with Ruby and her desires.
Onto the acting, well what can I say. Prabhu Deva plays Krishna and does an amazing job at it, from cool dude to distraught newly wed to slowly caring husband over time. He brings his character to life on screen and will have you rooting for him throughout the movie.
Tamannaah who plays Devi/Ruby does a really amazing job. She is playing two vastly different characters and makes each feel like their own unique person on screen. From sweet, caring and beautiful Devi to arrogant, hot and modern Ruby. She is truly one of the most important characters in the film and Tamannaah does a brilliant job at showcasing each character.
Last but not least we have Sonu Sood who plays the movie star Raj who falls in love with Ruby while acting with her in his film. Great job by him in his supporting role.
Song and music wise Devi is no slouch either, with 2 really good songs that I enjoyed. The other songs while not my favourites will definitely appeal to others.
To round it all up Devi has a good story, it's interesting and funny and I for one did definitely enjoy it. The acting and casting is superb, seriously I can't picture anyone else but Prabhu Deva, Tamannaah and Sonu Sood in these roles. The music was great and I am now listening to it as I write this review.
Anyway all in all I give the movie a solid 8/10. If you're a Prabhu Deva or Tamannaah fan I definitely recommend watching it, if not I still recommend giving it a go xD.
