Deva box office collection

The website reports that Deva collected ₹5.5 crore on its opening day and around ₹5.87 crore on its first Saturday. The film held steady, taking its total to ₹11.37 crore. On Saturday, Deva registered 5.84% occupancy for the morning shows, 11.28% for the afternoon and 14.20% for the evening.

The trade website reported a collection of ₹6.60 crore gross in India, and ₹10.10 crore worldwide.

About Deva

Deva tells the story of ACP Dev Ambre, played by Shahid. A womaniser and a hot-headed cop, Dev loses his memory while trying to solve his best friend’s murder. The film is an adaptation of Rosshan’s 2013 Malayalam film Mumbai Police with Prithviraj Sukumaran. However, key changes were made to the script to change the story, particularly the big reveal in the climax. Pooja plays Dev’s girlfriend, a journalist called Divya Sathaye.

The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, but Shahid’s performance was praised. Hindustan Times’ review of the film reads, “What Deva needed is more action perhaps? And less of the layers. If the treatment is massy, with some truly stand out moments, why burden the story? Some promising arcs too feel left incomplete.”
