Deva

Rating - 3.5/5

A good investigation thriller that did justice to the premier Malayalam outing with some variations in the story plot.

The plot of the story revolves around a daring cop involved in the investigation of his friends murder mets with an accident and how he solves the murder mystery despite his medical situation forms the crux of the story.

Rosshan Andrews has made a fair execution of his former Malayalam directorial to the Bollywood diaspora by infusing action sequences,masala flavours for appealing the mass crowd. The emotions portrayed through the film could be easily connected by the audience through the performances and by setting the film in Mumbai backdrop added more life to the story.

Incredible performance by Shahid Kapoor through the film and the way he carried the character deserves appreciation. Good performances by Pooja Hegde,Pravesh Rana,Kubbra Sait & Pavali Gulati.

Splendid capture and lighting by the DOP Amit Roy especially the action sequences and the crowded Mumbai streets and ambience with Jakes Bejoy's eerie BGM's gave a thrilling experience to the viewers. Hats off to the editor genius Sreekar Prasad for the effortless slicing of the footage giving an absolute banger for a Mallu viewer.👍🏻Kudos to Stunt Choreography team for the action sequences.

A good theatre watch to check out some impressive action sequences and effortless narration in it's varied avatar.
