Shahid Kapoor's Deva Earns Impressive Rs 18.7 Crore
Deva's success can be attributed to Shahid Kapoor's powerful performance, impressive technical aspects, and an engaging storyline, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. The film's ability to hold steady over the weekend demonstrates its potential to remain a top contender at the box office.
Shahid Kapoor's latest film "Deva" has taken the box office by storm, earning an impressive total of Rs 18.7 crore in its three-day run, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. The film's success can be attributed to Kapoor's powerful performance as ACP Dev Ambre, a hot-headed cop who loses his memory while investigating his best friend's murder.
The film, directed by Rosshan Andrrews, had a shaky start on its opening day, collecting Rs 5.5 crore, but showed a significant surge in collections on Saturday, reaching Rs 6.4 crore. The total collection includes Rs 6.8 crore on Sunday, demonstrating the film's ability to hold steady over the weekend. The story follows an ACP who loses his memory while trying to solve his best friend's murder and gets married to a reporter, played by Pooja Hegde.
Shahid Kapoor's performance in the film has been widely praised, with the actor exuding swag and roguish charm as a flawed and aggressive police officer. The film has an engaging first half, with a strong buildup and character development, but the second half falters with a weak plot twist and underutilized supporting characters. Despite its flaws, Deva is one of Kapoor's strongest works, with impressive performances from Kapoor and supporting actors Pravesh Rana and Pavail Gulati.
The film's technical aspects are also notable, with impressive cinematography, production design, and a background score that keeps the adrenaline high. With a worldwide collection expected to be around Rs 10.10 crore, Deva has faced competition from "Sky Force," but its success is a testament to the power of Shahid Kapoor's performance and the film's engaging storyline.
As the film continues to run in theaters, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the coming days. With its impressive opening weekend collection and strong word-of-mouth, Deva is likely to remain a top contender at the box office.
