Another detailed X post tagged Deva as the 'Most Explosive Cop Drama of the Year.' The user clarified the Shahid Kapoor starrer is not a remake but rather has a fresh storyline. The X review drew attention to the high-octane action sequences, the film's mass appeal, and Shahid and Pooja's onscreen chemistry.

#DevaReview : ⭐️
1/5stars
Unbearable, literally no logic it has a police kills another police for taking bribe literally such plots used in the film. #ShahidKapoor copies Kabir singh in film , pls stop it. #PoojaHegde acting is good. Songs are bad.Avoid this film. #Deva . pic.twitter.com/aXJQUiLU5B

However, the film is not without its flaws. Comparing Shahid's act with actor Prithvi's role in Mumbai Police, an X user called it disappointing. Another one called the plot boring.

#Deva Review

RATING: ⭐⭐

One of the most disappointing movies of the year. #MumbaiPolice was a decent thriller and #Prithviraj's acting made it an excellent watch. Here, #ShahidKapoor fails to match half of #Prithvi's acting skill, making the movie look dull. pic.twitter.com/v5AG4xH9h6

Deva faces competition from Sky Force at the box office, which has been performing better than the previous January releases like Emergency and Azaad. With positive reviews on the first day, the way ahead looks promising for Deva with industry insiders expecting a decent opening with scope to bank on word-of-mouth publicity.
