The movie's trailer has generated excitement among fans with its intense interplay of emotions and the never-seen-before character Shahid is expected to play.

Deva Review: Does the movie deliver on expectations?
According to Vivek Mishra, Deva is "a rollercoaster ride you cannot miss". "Brace yourself! #ShahidKapoor’s #Deva is here to blow your mind with 2 hours and 36 minutes of pure intensity, style, and raw emotions," he wrote in his review on X, highlighting the positive aspects of the film.

He also highlighted that Deva is not a remake of Mumbai Police. Talking about Shahid's chemistry with Pooja Hegde, Mishra gave the new pairing a thumbs up, pointing out that Pooja's role, although limited, is impactful. "#Deva is Shahid Kapoor like you’ve never seen before—intense, unhinged, and magnetic. From edge-of-your-seat action to heart-touching moments, this movie is packed with everything you could ask for," he further shared.

What Shahid said about Deva
The action thriller revolves around a rebellious police officer (Shahid Kapoor) tasked with solving a high-profile case that unravels layers of deceit, betrayal and a dangerous conspiracy. The movie is helmed by noted Malayalam director Rosshan Andrrews, known for blockbusters such as Salute and Kayamkulam Kochunni.

“This is the most complex character I’ve played having said that, I’ve played a few. But if there’s any character that has challenged me yet again, to ask myself whether I’m capable of doing this or not, then that is Deva," Shahid said at the film's trailer launch earlier this month.
