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.

Roshan Andrews’ direction is alright but his narration targets the class audience mainly. Also, his narration gets confusing at times. Vishal Mishra’s music is good. The Bhasad song is mass-appealing. Raj Shekhar’s lyrics are fairly nice. Bosco Leslie Martis’ choreography is lovely. Jakes Bejoy’s background music is superb. Amit Roy’s cinematography is of a good standard. Action and stunts scenes have been extraordinarily choreographed by Supreme Sundar, Abbas Ali Moghul, Anl Arasu, Parvez Shaikh and Vikram Dahiya. Sandeep Sharad Ravade’s production designing is of a fine standard. A. Sreekar Prasad’s editing should’ve been sharper. On the whole, Deva is too class-appealing to make any impact at the ticket windows. It will prove to be a flop show.

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: DhavalRoy Site:TimesOfIndia
Director Rosshan Andrrews sets the stage for a gripping whodunnit right from the opening scene. Shahid Kapoor delivers a brilliant performance as Dev Ambre, balancing menace and vulnerability. That said, the film isn’t without flaws. The narrative has several loopholes and moments that feel unconvincing—a sniper shot, for instance, seems far-fetched. Some loose ends remain unexplained (avoiding spoilers here). Dev’s childhood hardships and his motivation to become a cop to arrest his abusive father are referenced multiple times but never fully explored. The overall pace remains slow, yet it manages to keep you engaged and entertained. The film has inconsistencies, however, its intensity, raw appeal, and slick execution make it worth a watch.

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Sushmita Site:Times Now
Director Rosshan Andrrews, known for his knack for syncing action with background music, tries to bring that intensity to Deva. Shahid Kapoor shines in his role, bringing an unmatched raw intensity to Dev. While the film celebrates its heroic cop, it doesn’t shy away from critiquing the very institution Dev represents. Despite the flaws, Deva is a slow-paced and engaging investigative thriller. It’s entertaining and the biggest strength of the film is Shahid Kapoor!

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Vinamra Site:Firstpost
The biggest downer is the climatic twist where the vulnerability of the central character from the original is replaced by a clichéd sermon by Dev-A. There could be two reasons why the makers decided to change the finale. They wanted to be firm that this was not a remake of the Malayalam thriller. Or maybe the leading man wasn’t comfortable in essaying a queer. Maybe the makers wanted to give a more stylized and bronzed look to Dev-A. Style hai babu Bhaiyaa makers ka style. No points for guessing which film comes to mind.
