Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde starrer minted ₹7.15 crore at the box office in India. Deva had an overall 15.34 per cent Hindi occupancy on Sunday with the maximum reported in Chennai (41.50 per cent). Adding the three-day collection, the total stands at ₹19.05 crore at the box office. Deva has managed to surpass Kangana Ranaut's Emergency and Sonu Sood's Fateh's opening weekend collection.

However, the real test would be Monday (first weekday) collection as it will decide the fate of the whole week.

Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde’s Deva hit or flop?

A group of X (formerly Twitter) users has already declared Deva a 'blockbuster'. Many praised Pooja Hegde's scenes, describing her performance as her ‘best time ever.’ One user on X called Deva Shahid Kapoor's 'career-defining' performance and labelled it a 'must-watch' film. They wrote, "#Deva Review MASTERPIECE ALERT! #ShahidKapoor delivers a career-defining performance as the fierce & unhinged cop, and Rosshan Andrrews crafts an absolute banger of an action thriller! The intensity, #Deva a must-watch."

Another's early review stated, "#Deva Review 4/5 #ShahidKapoor is at the top of his game. His acting is truly outstanding. #PoojaHegde shines in her role. The best part about the film is it doesn’t feel dragged at all, thanks to having only one song. The climax is (Not a remake, doubt cleared)."

What do we know about Deva?

It is a remake of Rosshan Andrrews' 2013 Malayalam movie Mumbai Police, which starred Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. However, the director has tweaked the story and altered the climax in the Hindi version. Apart from Shahid and Pooja, the movie also stars Pavail Gulati and Kubbra Sait in the pivotal roles.
