Deva Movie Review and Release LIVE UPDATES: Pooja Hegde starrer, lip-lock scene trimmed by CBFC? 5 Reasons you must not miss Shahid Kapoor
Produced by Roy Kapur Films, Deva has registered 18,000 admits in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis. Of which a significant chunk of admissions was recorded at PVR Inox. This is a slow advance for a Shahid Kapoor starrer. However, genre-specific movies rely heavily on spot booking rather than advance sales.
For the uninitiated, the full-fledged advance booking of Deva opened on Wednesday morning, two days before the release. The movie is likely to take a slow start. According to current trends, its opening can be between Rs 4.50 crore and Rs 5.50 crore. However, if walk-ins help the movie, it might see a debut of Rs 6 crore.
The cast also includes Pavail Gulatie, Pravessh Rana, and Kubbra Sait in pivotal roles. The film is directed by Rosshan Andrrews. It is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Umesh KR Bansal.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given Deva a ‘UA 16+’ rating. According to their website, the runtime of the film is 156 minutes and 53 seconds, which means 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 53 seconds.
While everyone is excited to know what director Rosshan Andrrews has created for them in Deva, Shahid Kapoor is also eager to see the reactions of fans to his first film of 2025. To gauge the mood of his admirers online and respond to their questions, the Bollywood star hosted a Q&A session on X.
During the interaction, someone asked Shahid Kapoor “What was your first reaction when you read the script of Deva?” The actor quickly acknowledged the question and replied, “Was shocked post-climax. Found it very fresh.”
According to a recent report in Bollywood Hungama, the upcoming movie Deva went under three modifications. Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde’s kiss sequence has reportedly been reduced by 6 seconds. The other changes were regarding a visual of a ‘foul gesture’ and several crude words, which were replaced with milder terms in dialogues and subtitles.
The report also revealed that clarification in reference to Hutatma Chowk, located in the Fort area of Mumbai, was requested by the CBFC from the makers.
