Deva trailer review: Shahid Kapoor brings Kaminey thrill back in this cop drama
The makers of Deva released the trailer of the film on Friday at a grand event in Mumbai. Starring Shahid Kapoor in the titular role, it brings the actor back into his action-thriller genre, much on the lines of Kaminey (2009). Except this time, he is not the criminal, but a cop.
The trailer features Shahid’s Deva looking extremely fearsome, with one motto in life: absolute freedom. The video opens with Deva narrating how it all started. The audience is told how Deva lost his brother to the ‘system’ when someone shot him dead during a function in their childhood. As the trailer progresses, we see Deva doing his own thing, killing people in the name of justice, and operating in full rebel mode.
A scene in the video features Deva’s senior telling him about an article, asking if he is a ‘police or a mafia’. In the very next scene, we see Deva telling a goon ‘I am… mafia’ in a very I-am-one-and-only-hero-of-this-world fashion.

The story of the film seems to be set in Mumbai. Deva also features Pooka Hegde opposite Shahid, and actor Pavail Gulati playing a cop. It is directed by Malayalam filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews. The film is slated to hit the screens on January 31.
