Deva story (no spoilers)
Dev Ambre is a ruthless cop who has just closed a murder case when an accident wipes his memory. He must now reinvestigate the same case without letting anyone around him know he has forgotten it—everyone except DCP Farhan Khan. The setup puts Dev in a tight spot: he has to retrace his own steps, deal with people who expect him to remember everything, and keep his secret from colleagues like ACP Rohan D'Silva and Diya Sathaye. The film mixes action, thriller, mystery and crime, so the tension comes from both the investigation and the risk of his memory loss being exposed. It runs 155 minutes and is rated U/A 16+ in India. The tone is tense and secretive, with a cop trying to hold his cover while solving a case he has already solved once.
Should you watch Deva?
Watch it for
- Shahid Kapoor plays Dev Ambre, a cop hiding memory loss while reworking a murder case, and the role demands a dual performance of toughness and quiet confusion.
- Director Rosshan Andrrews blends action, thriller, mystery and crime, so the film moves between investigation beats and confrontations rather than staying in one register.
- The supporting cast includes Pooja Hegde as Diya Sathaye, Pavail Gulati as ACP Rohan D'Silva, Pravessh Rana as DCP Farhan Khan and Girish Kulkarni as Jairaj Apte, giving the case multiple faces and suspects.
- At 155 minutes, the film has room for a layered mystery, and the U/A 16+ rating signals a more adult treatment of crime and action.
Skip it if
- You want a fast, light watch—155 minutes of crime and mystery with a memory-loss twist asks for patience.
- You prefer films where the hero is always in control; Dev Ambre's secret makes him vulnerable throughout.
- You dislike action-thrillers that mix investigation with confrontations, since the genres here are action, thriller, mystery and crime.

Our verdict
Deva gives Shahid Kapoor a role that keeps him off-balance as a cop who cannot admit he has forgotten the case he solved. The memory-loss secret adds a fresh layer to the murder investigation, and the supporting cast gives the mystery enough suspects to hold interest. It is a solid pick for action-thriller fans who do not mind a longer runtime.
