Shahid Kapoor has received acclaim for his role in the action thriller ‘Deva‘, which has been labeled an “absolute banger.” However, some viewers have pointed out that its opening scene shares similarities with the Malayalam film ‘Mumbai Police’, also directed by Rosshan Andrrews. This resemblance has sparked discussions about the film’s originality. Despite this, ‘Deva’ has managed to keep audiences engaged with its captivating story and powerful performances.
As ‘Deva’ captivates audiences with its engaging storyline and intense performances, many users on X (formerly Twitter) have declared the film a “must-watch.” Early reactions emphasize Shahid’s compelling portrayal of a rebellious cop, with fans praising the film’s thrilling action sequences and gripping narrative. Viewers are calling it one of Kapoor’s finest performances.

‘Deva’ is the first Hindi film directed by well-known Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews.

As he investigates a high-profile case, he discovers layers of deceit and betrayal. This is Kapoor’s first time playing a uniformed cop, bringing new energy to the role. The film also stars Pooja Hegde, along with Pavail Gulati, Pravessh Rana, Kubbra Sait, Girish Kulkarni, and Aditi Sandhya Sharma in supporting roles.
