Mon Feb 03 13:42:30 IST 2025: ## Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Deva’ Opens Moderately at Box Office, Grossing ₹19.05 Crore in First Weekend
**Mumbai, India –** Shahid Kapoor’s action-thriller “Deva” has had a moderate opening weekend at the box office, raking in ₹19.05 crore. The film, directed by Roshan Matthews and co-starring Pooja Hegde, saw a steady increase in collections over the three-day period. While Friday’s opening stood at ₹5.5 crore, Saturday saw a jump to ₹6.4 crore, and Sunday’s collections reached ₹7.15 crore.
Despite mixed reviews, the film showed improved performance on the weekend, suggesting positive word-of-mouth might be contributing to its box office run. However, “Deva’s” performance lags behind last year’s hit, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” starring Kriti Sanon, which opened stronger with ₹6.7 crore and collected ₹27.1 crore in its first weekend, eventually grossing ₹85.16 crore.
While “Deva’s” future box office success remains uncertain, its opening weekend figures provide a modest foundation for its theatrical run. Industry analysts will be watching closely to see if the film can build momentum and achieve comparable lifetime earnings to its predecessor.
