After a series of events, friendship strengthens between Deva, Das and latter tries in vain to get Deva out of criminal world. Whether Das is succeeded in bringing change in Deva? Form another aspect of the story-line.

Analysis :

As expected, one of the biggest highlights of the film is the bromance between Nagarjuna and Nani.

The star duo evoke good comedy and their chemistry will impress the audience completely. Nagarjuna looks super fit and it is nice to see him give equal space to Nani and still come up with a top notch performance.

Nani is once again a show stealer as his innocent doctor’s role is the main backbone of the film.

Rashmika Mandanna who acquired good following in Telugu, with her recent blockbuster hit, has been wasted in an undercover cop role in this film. Another heroine Akanksha Singh who played as Nag’s heroine is average.

Coming to the director Sriram Aditya, he had a massive responsibility of handling both the stars and he has done an okay job. Sriram had plenty of situations where he could have generated hilarious fun but he did not make use of it and showcased the proceedings on just a simple note.

Senior actor Naresh, actress Satya Krishnan play Nani’s brother and sister-in-law. Murali Sharma played a cop role, Tamil actor Sharath Kumar played the godfather role. Kunal Kapoor as villain is a miscasting. He doesn’t have that menacing look. Vennela Kishore role is limited,Comedian Satya as an assistant to Dr. Das is entertaining.

TeluguOne Perspective :

On the whole, Deva Das is a decent multi starrer which clicks because of Nagarjuna and Nani’s good screen presence. Story wise, there is nothing new and the first half is also ordinary. But things change from the second part as the good dose of emotions and interesting ending work for the film. All you need is to keep your expectations in check and enjoy Nani and Nag’s unique bromance.
