Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor has returned to the big screen after nearly a year with his latest action thriller, Deva. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews in his Hindi directorial debut, the film follows Dev Ambre, a fearless police officer navigating the complexities of crime and justice.
Shahid Kapoor’s Action Thriller Opens Low
Despite Shahid’s strong fan following and the film’s intense action sequences, Deva had a disappointing start at the box office. The film managed to collect only ₹5.78 crore on its opening day, well below expectations. While multiplexes in urban centers reported decent occupancy, mass circuits failed to generate traction.
Can Shahid Kapoor’s Film Recover?
Industry experts suggest that Deva needs to show a substantial increase in collections over the weekend to avoid being labeled a box-office failure. A strong Saturday and Sunday hold is crucial for the film to reach a respectable first-week total.
With positive word-of-mouth and Shahid Kapoor’s dedicated fan base, Deva still has a chance to recover. The coming days will determine whether the film can gain momentum or struggle to stay afloat at the box office.
