Deva (2025)
An Epic Tale of Power, Identity, and Redemption
Set against the vibrant, chaotic backdrop of modern-day India, Deva (2025) is a gripping action-thriller that weaves mythology with contemporary crime. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews and starring Shahid Kapoor in a career-defining dual role, the film follows Deva, a brooding, sharp-witted police officer haunted by the unsolved murder of his father decades earlier. When a series of ritualistic killings rock Mumbai, Deva uncovers a shadowy underworld syndicate with ties to ancient Hindu mythology—and a shocking connection to his own past.
As Deva delves deeper, he clashes with Zorawar, a ruthless mercenary (also played by Kapoor) whose motives blur the line between vengeance and fanaticism. The two men, bound by blood and betrayal, are thrust into a deadly game where gods and mortals collide. With the help of Aadhira (Pooja Hegde), a tenacious archaeologist decoding cryptic clues tied to the crimes, Deva races to dismantle a conspiracy that threatens to unleash chaos on an unprecedented scale.
Visually stunning and emotionally charged, Deva explores themes of duality, destiny, and the cost of justice. From high-octane chase sequences through Mumbai’s labyrinthine streets to haunting flashbacks of mythological lore, the film balances visceral action with philosophical depth. As secrets unravel, Deva must confront not only the demons of his lineage but also the godlike power awakening within him.
Deva promises to redefine the Indian action genre, blending gritty realism with mythic grandeur. Will Deva embrace his destiny as a protector, or succumb to the darkness he seeks to destroy?
