Tue Feb 04 10:28:42 UTC 2025: ## Shahid Kapoor’s “Deva” Tanks at Box Office Despite Initial Buzz
**Mumbai, India** – Shahid Kapoor and Pooja Hegde’s highly anticipated action thriller, “Deva,” has significantly underperformed at the box office, despite a star-studded cast and promising action sequences. The film, directed by Rosshan Andrrews and a remake of the Malayalam film “Mumbai Police,” opened with strong advance bookings but failed to maintain momentum.
Initial excitement surrounding the film’s release, fueled by its action sequences and the pairing of Kapoor and Hegde, translated into a decent opening weekend. However, the film experienced a drastic drop in viewership during the weekdays. According to Sacnilk, a leading industry tracker, “Deva” grossed only ₹0.09 crore (approximately $11,000 USD) on its fifth day, a massive decline from its first Monday’s earnings of ₹2.55 crore. The film’s total collection currently stands at approximately ₹21.97 crore.
The day-wise breakdown reveals a concerning trend:
* **Day 1:** ₹5.5 Crore
* **Day 2:** ₹6.4 Crore
* **Day 3:** ₹7.25 Crore
* **Day 4:** ₹2.55 Crore
* **Day 5:** ₹0.09 Crore
While the film boasts a strong supporting cast including Pavail Gulati and Kubbra Sait, and features catchy songs, the lukewarm audience response has resulted in a disappointing box office performance, failing to meet expectations. The reasons behind the film’s underperformance remain to be seen.
