Mumbai: The much-anticipated trailer of Deva, starring Shahid Kapoor, Pooja Hegde, and Pavail Gulati, has finally dropped, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Directed by acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews, the action-packed cop thriller is set to release in cinemas on January 31.
The trailer opens with a gripping voiceover by Shahid Kapoor’s character, Deva, a fiery and rebellious cop. He vows to avenge the death of his fellow officer, killed by terrorists, as he rallies the Mumbai Police to storm every lane and dismantle the criminal network. In his pursuit of justice, Deva demands “absolute freedom,” blurring the line between the law and vigilantism.
The narrative takes a dark turn when Deva’s unconventional methods are scrutinized. His superiors accuse him of turning into a mafia-like figure. Deva embraces the label, proclaiming, “I’m mafia,” as he dances with abandon to Marathi dhol beats and relentlessly hunts down criminals in the bustling bylanes of Mumbai.
The tension peaks with Pavail Gulati’s character, a fellow cop, confronting Deva about his anger, suggesting it stems from fear. In a heart-pounding moment, Kubbra Sait’s character pleads with Deva to shoot an escaping criminal, but he hesitates, revealing an emotional depth beneath his hardened exterior.
The trailer highlights Shahid Kapoor’s intense portrayal of a tormented and defiant police officer. With shades of his iconic performance in Kaminey, Deva promises to showcase the actor in a rugged, action-packed avatar.
Featuring an electrifying soundtrack, gripping action sequences, and a layered narrative, Deva is poised to be a cinematic spectacle. Fans eagerly await its theatrical release on January 31, anticipating a performance that will reaffirm Shahid Kapoor’s prowess in the action-thriller genre.
