MUMBAI, INDIA – Shahid Kapoor’s action thriller “Deva” experienced a slight uptick in box office earnings on its first Sunday. The film, a remake of the 2013 Malayalam film “Mumbai Police,” raked in ₹7.15 crore (approximately $868,000 USD) on its third day, bringing its three-day total to ₹19.05 crore (approximately $2.3 million USD), according to Sacnilk. However, the film’s performance remains a cause for concern.
While Sunday’s collection showed a modest increase, trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted a lack of significant growth in the film’s earnings on Saturday. He expressed concern that the two-day total should ideally have matched the opening day’s performance. The film’s Friday and Saturday earnings totalled ₹12.39 crore (approximately $1.5 million USD).
Despite the mixed box office response, Shahid Kapoor praised his co-star Pooja Hegde during the film’s promotions, commending her hard work and dancing talent. “Deva,” directed by Rosshan Andrrews, also stars Pavail Gulati, Pravesh Rana, Kubbra Sait, Girish Kulkarni, and Manish Wadhwa. The film is a joint production of Zee Studios, Roy Kapur Films, and Malvika Khatri. The film features a different climax than its Malayalam predecessor. The film’s future box office performance remains to be seen.
