Deva box office collection day 1: The dynamic Shahid Kapoor is back for the first time in 2025 with the action entertainer “Deva,” which hit the big screens on 31st January 2025, following 2024’s critically and commercially acclaimed sci-fi romantic comedy film “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.” Including Kapoor, the film also features an ensemble cast, Pooja Hegde and Pavail Gulati in crucial roles. It’s based on the Prithviraj Sukumaran-led 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police. On the opening day, the latest release entertainer’s early trend report hints it scores around 50% less than the Kapoor-led last film, TBMAUJ.
Shahid Kapoor’s Deva box office collection day 1 scores over Rs 3 Cr
According to the latest box office trend, Rosshan Andrrews helmed the actioner on opening day, generating around Rs 2.82 Cr net by the end of the evening show. After the end of the opening day, the score will reach a decent note, in the vicinity of Rs 3-3.5 Cr net in India, which will mark it as one of the poorest opening films of lead Shahid Kapoor’s filmography. Shahid Kapoor’s last film, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, began its box office journey with Rs 7.02 Cr net.
Taran Adarsh’s Review on Deva
The key setback for the venture is the negative word of mouth; the veteran film critic and business analyst Taran Adarsh gave the movie only a 2 rating out of 5 and captioned it: #OneWordReview… #Deva: DISAPPOINTING. Rating: 2 stars
Engaging in parts with some brilliantly executed sequences… Lengthy first half, uneven, slow-paced second half… Inconsistent writing is a flaw… #ShahidKapoor is outstanding, among his best works. #DevaReview
Director #RosshanAndrrews is a superior storyteller and his craft shines at several moments. However, the writing lets him down, particularly in the second half. Even as the mystery unfolds, it lacks the element of surprise – you see it coming.
A few subplots feel half-baked, including the romantic track between #ShahidKapoor and #PoojaHegde… Even the two episodes featuring #ShahidKapoor and #GirishKulkarni [politician], though smashing, seem underdeveloped.
It is #ShahidKapoor‘s bravura performance that partially redeems the film, with his raw, rugged charm leaving a lasting impact. The energy he exudes in the opening dance track is electrifying.
#PavailGulati and #PravesshRana deliver commendable performances… #PoojaHegde is underutilized… #UpendraLimaye, in a cameo, is superb.
Plusses: #ShahidKapoor‘s fantastic performance. Several brilliantly executed moments.
Minusses: Erratic screenplay that lacks grip. An extremely heavy and intense narrative with no relief. Slow-paced second half.
Final word? #Deva is a missed opportunity… It had the potential to join the ranks of memorable cop films – #Singham [#AjayDevgn], #Dabangg [#SalmanKhan],#RowdyRathore – #Sooryavanshi [#AkshayKumar] and #Simmba [#RanveerSingh] – but ultimately falls short.
